PROLOG

       This  manual  page  is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of
       this interface may differ (consult the corresponding 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 *nptr);
       long long atoll(const char *nptr);

DESCRIPTION

       The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any
       conflict between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard is  unintentional.
       This volume of POSIX.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard.

       Except as noted below, the call atol(nptr) shall be equivalent to:

           strtol(nptr, (char **)NULL, 10)

       Except as noted below, the call to atoll(nptr) shall be equivalent to:

           strtoll(nptr, (char **)NULL, 10)

       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

       If the number is not known to be in range, strtol() or strtoll() should  be  used  because
       atol() and atoll() are not required to perform any error checking.

RATIONALE

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       None.
