KSTRTOINT(9)						     Basic C Library Functions						      KSTRTOINT(9)

NAME
kstrtoint - convert a string to an int SYNOPSIS
int kstrtoint(const char * s, unsigned int base, int * res); ARGUMENTS
s The start of the string. The string must be null-terminated, and may also include a single newline before its terminating null. The first character may also be a plus sign or a minus sign. base The number base to use. The maximum supported base is 16. If base is given as 0, then the base of the string is automatically detected with the conventional semantics - If it begins with 0x the number will be parsed as a hexadecimal (case insensitive), if it otherwise begins with 0, it will be parsed as an octal number. Otherwise it will be parsed as a decimal. res Where to write the result of the conversion on success. DESCRIPTION
Returns 0 on success, -ERANGE on overflow and -EINVAL on parsing error. Used as a replacement for the obsolete simple_strtoull. Return code must be checked. COPYRIGHT

NAME
strtoimax(), strtoumax() - convert string to integer SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
or converts the character string pointed to by str to or representation, respectively. The string is scanned up to the first character inconsistent with the base. Leading ``white-space'' characters (as defined by in ctype(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 string itself determines the base as follows: after an optional leading sign, a leading zero indicates octal conver- sion; a leading or indicates hexadecimal conversion. Otherwise, decimal conversion is used. If the value of ptr is not a pointer to the character terminating the scan is returned in the location pointed to by ptr. If no integer can be formed, the location pointed to by ptr is set to str, and zero is returned. RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, all 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 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. AUTHOR
