STRTOL(3)                  Linux Programmer’s Manual                 STRTOL(3)



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  inclu-
       sive, 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).

NOTES
       In  locales  other  than  the "C" locale, also other strings may be accepted.  (For
       example, the thousands separator of the current locale may be supported.)

       BSD also has

           quad_t
           strtoq(const char *nptr, char **endptr, int base);

       with completely analogous definition.  Depending on the  wordsize  of  the  current
       architecture, this may be equivalent to strtoll() or to strtol().

CONFORMING TO
       strtol()  conforms  to  SVID 3, BSD 4.3, ISO 9899 (C99) and POSIX, and strtoll() to
       ISO 9899 (C99) and POSIX 1003.1-2001.
