What is format f12.8 for a CSV file

I received a csv file along with the file specifications.  In the file specs column name called format and default format.  It has the below info for various fields:

Format/Default Format
I2/A4
A12/A12
A8/A10
C11.6/F18.2
D8/D8
A4/A10
A8/A30
F15.2/F17.2
F15.2/F11.2
C12.8/F11.2
F16.2/F11.2
F16.2/F18.2
A2/A8
F11.9/F23.2
A8/A10
F11.9/F23.2

My guess is it has something to do with precision, but I am just guessing.
