CRTL, wcstol
*Conan The Librarian
|
Converts a wide-character string in a specified base to a long
integer value.
Format
#include <wchar.h>
long int wcstol (const wchar_t *nptr, wchar_t **endptr, int base);
The wcstol function has variants named _wcstol32 and _wcstol64
for use with 32-bit and 64-bit pointer sizes, respectively.
nptr
A pointer to the wide-character string to be converted to a long
integer.
endptr
The address of an object where the function can store a pointer
to the first unrecognized character encountered in the conversion
process (the character that follows the last character processed
in the string being converted). If endptr is a NULL pointer, the
address of the first unrecognized character is not retained.
base
The value, 2 through 36, to use as the base for the conversion.
If base is 16, leading zeros after the optional sign are ignored,
and 0x or 0X is ignored.
If base is 0, the sequence of characters is interpreted by the
same rules used to interpret an integer constant. After the
optional sign:
o A leading 0 indicates octal conversion.
o A leading 0x or 0X indicates hexadecimal conversion.
o Any other combination of leading characters indicates decimal
conversion.
The wcstol function recognizes strings in various formats,
depending on the value of the base. This function ignores any
leading white-space characters (as defined by the iswspace
function) in the given string. It recognizes an optional plus
or minus sign, then a sequence of digits or letters that can
represent an integer constant according to the value of the base.
The first unrecognized character ends the conversion.
x The converted value.
0 Indicates that the string starts with an
unrecognized wide character or that the value
for base is invalid. If the string starts with
an unrecognized wide character, *endptr is set
to nptr. The function sets errno to EINVAL.
LONG_MAX or LONG_ Indicates that the converted value would cause
MIN a positive or negative overflow, respectively.
The function sets errno to ERANGE.
