otherwise, a +zero +.I base +is taken as 10 (decimal) unless the next character +is \[aq]0\[aq], in which case it is taken as 8 (octal). +.PP +The remainder of the string is converted to a +.I long +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 \[aq]A\[aq] in +either uppercase or lowercase represents 10, \[aq]B\[aq] represents 11, and so +forth, with \[aq]Z\[aq] representing 35.) +.PP +If +.I endptr +is not NULL, +.BR strtol () +stores the address of the +first invalid character in +.IR *endptr . +If there were no digits at +all, +.BR strtol () +stores the original value of +.I nptr +in +.I *endptr +(and returns 0). +In particular, if +.I *nptr +is not \[aq]\e0\[aq] but +.I **endptr +is \[aq]\e0\[aq] on return, the entire string is valid. +.PP +The +.BR strtoll () +function works just like the +.BR strtol () +function but returns a +.I long long +integer value. +.SH RETURN VALUE +The +.BR strtol () +function returns the result of the conversion, +unless the value would underflow or overflow. +If an underflow occurs, +.BR strtol () +returns +.BR LONG_MIN . +If an overflow occurs, +.BR strtol () +returns +.BR LONG_MAX . +In both cases, +.I errno +is set to +.BR ERANGE . +Precisely the same holds for +.BR strtoll () +(with +.B LLONG_MIN +and +.B LLONG_MAX +instead of +.B LONG_MIN +and +.BR LONG_MAX ). +.SH ERRORS +.TP +.B EINVAL +(not in C99) +The given +.I base +contains an unsupported value. +.TP +.B ERANGE +The resulting value was out of range. +.PP +The implementation may also set +.I errno +to +.B EINVAL +in case +no conversion was performed (no digits seen, and 0 returned). +.SH ATTRIBUTES +For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see +.BR attributes (7). +.TS +allbox;
