     #include <bsd/libutil.h>

     int
     expand_number(const char *buf, uint64_t *num);

DESCRIPTION

RETURN VALUES

     Upon successful completion, the value 0 is returned; otherwise the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the
     error.

ERRORS

     The expand_number() function will fail if:

     [EINVAL]		The given string contains no digits.

     [EINVAL]		An unrecognized prefix was given.

     [ERANGE]		Result doesn't fit into 64 bits.
