Default Cedar Clapboard Nailing Questions

Hello,

Regarding the typical Cedar horizontal siding clapboards:
Having some new ones put up.

a. These days, what size nails are typically used ?

b. What type of head ?

c. Are they usually countersunk (at all) ?
If so, is some kind of putty used to fill void ?

Thanks,
B.
