.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm strtoul
|
|
.Nd convert a string to an unsigned long integer
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <stdlib.h>
|
|
.Fd #include <limits.h>
|
|
.Ft unsigned long
|
|
.Fn strtoul "const char *nptr" "char **endptr" "int base"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn strtoul
|
|
function
|
|
converts the string in
|
|
.Fa nptr
|
|
to an
|
|
.Em unsigned long
|
|
value 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
|
|
and sets the global variable
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
to
|
|
.Er ERANGE .
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er ERANGE
|
|
The given string was out of range; the value converted has been clamped.
