NAME
strtol, strtoll, strtoq - convert a string to a long integer.SYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h> long int strtol(const char *nptr, char **endptr, int base); long long int strtoll(const char *nptr, char **endptr, int base);
DESCRIPTION
The strtol() function converts the initial part of the string in nptr to a long integer value according to the given base, which must be between 2 and 36 inclusive, or be the special value 0.The string must begin with an arbitrary amount of white space (as determined by isspace(3)) followed by a single optional `+' or `-' sign. If base is zero or 16, the string may then include a `0x' prefix, and the number will be read in base 16; otherwise, a zero base is taken as 10 (decimal) unless the next character is `0', in which case it is taken as 8 (octal).
The remainder of the string is converted to a long int value in the obvious manner, stopping at the first character which is not a valid digit in the given base. (In bases above 10, the letter `A' in either upper or lower case represents 10, `B' represents 11, and so forth, with `Z' representing 35.)
If endptr is not NULL, strtol() stores the address of the first invalid character in *endptr. If there were no digits at all, strtol() stores the original value of nptr in *endptr (and returns 0). In particular, if *nptr is not `\0' but **endptr is `\0' on return, the entire string is valid.
The strtoll() function works just like the strtol() function but returns a long long integer value.
RETURN VALUE
The strtol() function returns the result of the conversion, unless the value would underflow or overflow. If an underflow occurs, strtol() returns LONG_MIN. If an overflow occurs, strtol() returns LONG_MAX. In both cases, errno is set to ERANGE. Precisely the same holds for strtoll() (with LLONG_MIN and LLONG_MAX instead of LONG_MIN and LONG_MAX).ERRORS
- ERANGE
- The resulting value was out of range.
- EINVAL
- (not in C99) The given base contains an unsupported value.
The implementation may also set errno to EINVAL in case no conversion was performed (no digits seen, and 0 returned).
