|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn strtoul
|
|
function
|
|
converts the string in
|
|
.Fa nptr
|
|
to an
|
|
.Ft unsigned long int
|
|
value.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn strtoull
|
|
function
|
|
converts the string in
|
|
.Fa nptr
|
|
to an
|
|
.Ft unsigned long long int
|
|
value.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn strtoumax
|
|
function
|
|
converts the string in
|
|
.Fa nptr
|
|
to an
|
|
.Ft uintmax_t
|
|
value.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn strtouq
|
|
function
|
|
converts the string in
|
|
.Fa nptr
|
|
to a
|
|
.Ft u_quad_t
|
|
value.
|
|
The conversion is done according to the given
|
|
.Fa base ,
|
|
which must be between 2 and 36 inclusive,
|
|
or be the special value 0.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The string may begin with an arbitrary amount of white space
|
|
(as determined by
|
|
.Xr isspace 3 )
|
|
followed by a single optional
|
|
.Ql +
|
|
or
|
|
.Ql -
|
|
sign.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa base
|
|
is zero or 16,
|
|
the string may then include a
|
|
.Ql 0x
|
|
prefix,
|
|
and the number will be read in base 16; otherwise, a zero
|
|
.Fa base
|
|
is taken as 10 (decimal) unless the next character is
|
|
.Ql 0 ,
|
|
in which case it is taken as 8 (octal).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The remainder of the string is converted to an
|
|
.Em unsigned long
|
|
value in the obvious manner,
|
|
stopping at the end of the string
|
|
or at the first character that does not produce a valid digit
|
|
in the given base.
|
|
(In bases above 10, the letter
|
|
.Ql A
|
|
in either upper or lower case
|
|
represents 10,
|
|
.Ql B
|
|
represents 11, and so forth, with
|
|
.Ql Z
|
|
representing 35.)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa endptr
|
|
is non-nil,
|
|
.Fn strtoul
|
|
stores the address of the first invalid character in
|
|
.Fa *endptr .
|
|
If there were no digits at all, however,
|
|
.Fn strtoul
|
|
stores the original value of
|
|
.Fa nptr
|
|
in
|
|
.Fa *endptr .
|
|
(Thus, if
|
|
.Fa *nptr
|
|
is not
|
|
.Ql \e0
|
|
but
|
|
.Fa **endptr
|
|
is
|
|
.Ql \e0
|
|
on return, the entire string was valid.)
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn strtoul
|
|
function
|
|
returns either the result of the conversion
|
|
or, if there was a leading minus sign,
|
|
the negation of the result of the conversion,
|
|
unless the original (non-negated) value would overflow;
|
|
in the latter case,
|
|
.Fn strtoul
|
|
returns
|
|
.Dv ULONG_MAX ,
|
|
.Fn strtoull
|
|
returns
|
|
.Dv ULLONG_MAX ,
|
|
.Fn strtoumax
|
|
returns
|
|
.Dv UINTMAX_MAX ,
|
|
.Fn strtouq
|
|
returns
|
|
.Dv UQUAD_MAX ,
|
|
and the global variable
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to
|
|
.Er ERANGE .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
There is no way to determine if
|
|
.Fn strtoul
|
|
has processed a negative number (and returned an unsigned value) short of
|
|
examining the string in
|
|
.Fa nptr
|
|
directly.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fa base
|
|
argument is not supported then
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to
|
|
.Er EINVAL
|
|
and the functions return 0.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If no error occurs,
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is left unchanged.
|
|
This behavior (which is unlike most library functions) is guaranteed
|
|
by the pertinent standards.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
Because the return value of
|
|
.Fn strtoul
|
|
cannot be used unambiguously to detect an error,
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is left unchanged after a successful call.
|
|
To ensure that a string is a valid number (i.e., in range and containing no
|
|
trailing characters), clear
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
beforehand explicitly, then check it afterwards:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
char *ep;
|
|
unsigned long ulval;
|
|
|
|
\&...
|
|
|
|
errno = 0;
|
|
ulval = strtoul(buf, \*[Am]ep, 10);
|
|
if (buf[0] == '\e0' || *ep != '\e0')
|
|
goto not_a_number;
|
|
if (errno == ERANGE \*[Am]\*[Am] ulval == ULONG_MAX)
|
|
goto out_of_range;
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This example will accept
|
|
.Dq 12
|
|
but not
|
|
.Dq 12foo
|
|
or
|
|
.Dq 12\en .
|
|
If trailing whitespace is acceptable, further checks must be done on
|
|
.Va *ep ;
|
|
alternately, use
|
|
.Xr sscanf 3 .
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar base
|
|
is not between 2 and 36 and does not contain the special value 0.
|
|
.It Bq Er ERANGE
|
|
The given string was out of range; the value converted has been clamped.
