### 2.39 `strtoll`, `strtoll_l`—string to long long

Synopsis

    #include <stdlib.h>
    long long strtoll(const char *restrict s, char **restrict ptr,
        int base);

    #include <stdlib.h>
    long long strtoll_l(const char *restrict s,
        char **restrict ptr, int base,
        locale_t locale);

    long long _strtoll_r(void *reent,
        const char *restrict s,
        char **restrict ptr, int base);

Description
The function `strtoll` converts the string `*s` to a `long long`. First, it breaks down the string into three parts: leading whitespace, which is ignored; a subject string consisting of characters resembling an integer in the radix specified by base; and a trailing portion consisting of zero or more unparseable characters, and always including the terminating null character. Then, it attempts to convert the subject string into a `long long` and returns the result.

If the value of base is 0, the subject string is expected to look like a normal C integer constant: an optional sign, a possible ‘`0x`’ indicating a hexadecimal base, and a number. If base is between 2 and 36, the expected form of the subject is a sequence of letters and digits representing an integer in the radix specified by base, with an optional plus or minus sign. The letters `a`–`z` (or, equivalently, `A`–`Z`) are used to signify values from 10 to 35; only letters whose ascribed values are less than base are permitted. If base is 16, a leading `0x` is permitted.

The subject sequence is the longest initial sequence of the input string that has the expected form, starting with the first non-whitespace character. If the string is empty or consists entirely of whitespace, or if the first non-whitespace character is not a permissible letter or digit, the subject string is empty.

If the subject string is acceptable, and the value of base is zero, `strtoll` attempts to determine the radix from the input string. A string with a leading `0x` is treated as a hexadecimal value; a string with a leading 0 and no `x` is treated as octal; all other strings are treated as decimal. If base is between 2 and 36, it is used as the conversion radix, as described above. If the subject string begins with a minus sign, the value is negated. Finally, a pointer to the first character past the converted subject string is stored in ptr, if ptr is not `NULL`.

If the subject string is empty (or not in acceptable form), no conversion is performed and the value of s is stored in ptr (if ptr is not `NULL`).

`strtoll_l` is like `strtoll` but performs the conversion based on the locale specified by the locale object locale. If locale is LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE or not a valid locale object, the behaviour is undefined.

The alternate function `_strtoll_r` is a reentrant version. The extra argument reent is a pointer to a reentrancy structure.

Returns
`strtoll`, `strtoll_l` return the converted value, if any. If no conversion was made, 0 is returned.

`strtoll`, `strtoll_l` return `LONG_LONG_MAX` or `LONG_LONG_MIN` if the magnitude of the converted value is too large, and sets `errno` to `ERANGE`.

Portability
`strtoll` is ANSI. `strtoll_l` is a GNU extension.

No supporting OS subroutines are required.
