NAME

strtoimax, strtoumax - convert string to integer

SYNOPSIS

bash

#include <inttypes.h>

bash

intmax_t strtoimax(const char *restrict \nnptr\n, char **restrict \nendptr\n,\n
\n                   int \nbase\n);\n
\nuintmax_t strtoumax(const char *restrict \nnptr\n, char **restrict \nendptr\n,\n
\n                   int \nbase\n);

DESCRIPTION

These functions are just like strtol(3) and strtoul(3), except that they return a value of type intmax_t and uintmax_t, respectively.

On success, the converted value is returned. If nothing was found to convert, zero is returned. On overflow or underflow INTMAX_MAX or INTMAX_MIN or UINTMAX_MAX is returned, and errno is set to ERANGE.
