59.Sh DESCRIPTION
60The
61.Fn strtol
62function
63converts the string in
64.Fa nptr
65to a
66.Em long
67value.
68The
69.Fn strtoll
70function
71converts the string in
72.Fa nptr
73to a
74.Em long long
75value.
76The
67.Fn strtoq
68function
69converts the string in
70.Fa nptr
71to a
72.Em quad_t
73value.
74The conversion is done according to the given
75.Fa base ,
76which must be between 2 and 36 inclusive,
77or be the special value 0.
78.Pp
79The string may begin with an arbitrary amount of white space
80(as determined by
81.Xr isspace 3 )
82followed by a single optional
83.Ql +
84or
85.Ql -
86sign.
87If
88.Fa base
89is zero or 16,
90the string may then include a
91.Ql 0x
92prefix,
93and the number will be read in base 16; otherwise, a zero
94.Fa base
95is taken as 10 (decimal) unless the next character is
96.Ql 0 ,
97in which case it is taken as 8 (octal).
98.Pp
99The remainder of the string is converted to a
100.Em long
101value in the obvious manner,
102stopping at the first character which is not a valid digit
103in the given base.
104(In bases above 10, the letter
105.Ql A
106in either upper or lower case
107represents 10,
108.Ql B
109represents 11, and so forth, with
110.Ql Z
111representing 35.)
112.Pp
113If
114.Fa endptr
115is non nil,
116.Fn strtol
117stores the address of the first invalid character in
118.Fa *endptr .
119If there were no digits at all, however,
120.Fn strtol
121stores the original value of
122.Fa nptr
123in
124.Fa *endptr .
125(Thus, if
126.Fa *nptr
127is not
128.Ql \e0
129but
130.Fa **endptr
131is
132.Ql \e0
133on return, the entire string was valid.)
134.Sh RETURN VALUES
135The
136.Fn strtol
137function
138returns the result of the conversion,
139unless the value would underflow or overflow.
140If an underflow occurs,
141.Fn strtol
142returns
143.Dv LONG_MIN .
144If an overflow occurs,
145.Fn strtol
146returns
147.Dv LONG_MAX .
77.Fn strtoq
78function
79converts the string in
80.Fa nptr
81to a
82.Em quad_t
83value.

148In both cases,
