strtoull, strtoull_l—string to unsigned long longSynopsis
#include <stdlib.h>
unsigned long long strtoull(const char *restrict s,
char **restrict ptr, int base);
#include <stdlib.h>
unsigned long long strtoull_l(const char *restrict s,
char **restrict ptr, int base,
locale_t locale);
unsigned long long _strtoull_r(void *reent,
const char *restrict s,
char **restrict ptr, int base);
Description
The function strtoull converts the string *s to
an unsigned long long. First, it breaks down the string into three parts:
leading whitespace, which is ignored; a subject string consisting
of the digits meaningful in the radix specified by base
(for example, 0 through 7 if the value of base is 8);
and a trailing portion consisting of one or more unparseable characters,
which always includes the terminating null character. Then, it attempts
to convert the subject string into an unsigned long long integer, and returns the
result.
If the value of base is zero, the subject string is expected to look
like a normal C integer constant (save that no optional sign is permitted):
a possible 0x indicating hexadecimal radix, and a number.
If base is between 2 and 36, the expected form of the subject is a
sequence of digits (which may include letters, depending on the
base) representing an integer in the radix specified by base.
The letters a–z (or A–Z) are used as digits valued from
10 to 35. If base is 16, a leading 0x is permitted.
The subject sequence is the longest initial sequence of the input string that has the expected form, starting with the first non-whitespace character. If the string is empty or consists entirely of whitespace, or if the first non-whitespace character is not a permissible digit, the subject string is empty.
If the subject string is acceptable, and the value of base is zero,
strtoull attempts to determine the radix from the input string. A
string with a leading 0x is treated as a hexadecimal value; a string with
a leading 0 and no x is treated as octal; all other strings are
treated as decimal. If base is between 2 and 36, it is used as the
conversion radix, as described above. Finally, a pointer to the first
character past the converted subject string is stored in ptr, if
ptr is not NULL.
If the subject string is empty (that is, if *s does not start
with a substring in acceptable form), no conversion
is performed and the value of s is stored in ptr (if ptr is
not NULL).
strtoull_l is like strtoull but performs the conversion based on the
locale specified by the locale object locale. If locale is
LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE or not a valid locale object, the behaviour is undefined.
The alternate function _strtoull_r is a reentrant version. The
extra argument reent is a pointer to a reentrancy structure.
Returns
strtoull, strtoull_l return the converted value, if any. If no
conversion was made, 0 is returned.
strtoull, strtoull_l return ULONG_LONG_MAX if the magnitude
of the converted value is too large, and sets errno to ERANGE.
Portability
strtoull is ANSI.
strtoull_l is a GNU extension.
strtoull requires no supporting OS subroutines.
