NAME

       wcstol(), wcstoll(), wcstoul(), wcstoull() - convert wide character string to long integer

SYNOPSIS


   Remarks
       These  functions  are compliant with the XPG4 Worldwide Portability Interface wide-character formatting functions.  They parallel the 8-bit
       character formatting functions defined in strtol(3C).

DESCRIPTION

       or converts the wide character string pointed to by nptr to or representation, respectively.  or converts the wide character string pointed
       to  by  nptr to or representation, respectively.  The wide character string is scanned up to the first wide character inconsistent with the
       base.  Leading "white-space" wide characters (as defined by in wctype(3C)) are ignored.	If no conversion can take place, zero is returned.

       If base is greater than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to 36, it is used as the base for conversion.  After an optional leading sign,
       leading zeros are ignored, and or is ignored if base is 16.

       If  base is zero, the wide character string itself determines the base as follows: after an optional leading sign, a leading zero indicates
       octal conversion; a leading or indicates hexadecimal conversion.  Otherwise, decimal conversion is used.

       If the value of endptr is not a pointer to the wide character terminating the scan is returned in the location pointed to by endptr.  If no
       integer can be formed, the location pointed to by endptr is set to nptr, and zero is returned.

       Definitions for these functions and the type are provided in the header file.

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

   Locale
       The category determines how wide character codes are interpreted.

   International Code Set Support
       Single- and multi-byte character code sets are supported.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful completion, both functions return the converted value, if any.

       If the correct value would cause overflow:

	      returns	     or (according to the sign of the value), and sets to

	      returns	     and sets to

	      returns	     or (according to the sign of the value), and sets to

	      returns	     and sets to

       For all other errors, zero is returned and is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       and fail and is set, if any of the following conditions are encountered:

	      The value of   base is not supported.

	      The value to be returned would have caused overflow.
