PROLOG
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the correspond- ing Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux. NAME
atol, atoll - convert a string to a long integer SYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h> long atol(const char *str); long long atoll(const char *nptr); DESCRIPTION
The call atol(str) shall be equivalent to: strtol(str, (char **)NULL, 10) The call atoll(str) shall be equivalent to: strtoll(nptr, (char **)NULL, 10) except that the handling of errors may differ. If the value cannot be represented, the behavior is undefined. RETURN VALUE
These functions shall return the converted value if the value can be represented. ERRORS
No errors are defined. The following sections are informative. EXAMPLES
None. APPLICATION USAGE
The atol() function is subsumed by strtol() but is retained because it is used extensively in existing code. If the number is not known to be in range, strtol() should be used because atol() is not required to perform any error checking. RATIONALE
None. FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None. SEE ALSO
strtol(), the Base Definitions volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, <stdlib.h> COPYRIGHT
