No @samp{+} or @samp{-} sign -may appear before the number, but the syntax is otherwise the same as +value with type @code{unsigned long int}. If the number has a leading +@samp{-} sign the negated value is returned. The syntax is the same as described above for @code{strtol}. The value returned in case of overflow is @code{ULONG_MAX} (@pxref{Range of Type}). Like @code{strtol} this function sets @code{errno} and returns the value @code{0ul} in case the value for @var{base} is not in the legal range. -For @code{strtoul} this can happen in another situation. In case the -number to be converted is negative @code{strtoul} also sets @code{errno} -to @code{EINVAL} and returns @code{0ul}. @end deftypefun @comment stdlib.h |
