explain_strtoull_or_die(3)  Library Functions Manual  explain_strtoull_or_die(3)

NAME
     explain_strtoull_or_die - convert string to integer and report errors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/strtoull.h>
     unsigned long long explain_strtoull_or_die(const char *nptr, char **endptr,
     int base);
     unsigned	long   long  explain_strtoull_on_error(const  char  *nptr,  char
     **endptr, int base))

DESCRIPTION
     The explain_strtoull_or_die function is used to call the strtoull(3) system
     call. On failure an explanation will be printed to  stderr,  obtained  from
     the  explain_strtoull(3) function, and then the process terminates by call-
     ing exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

     The explain_strtoull_on_error function is used to call the strtoull(3) sys-
     tem call. On failure an explanation will be  printed  to  stderr,	obtained
     from the explain_strtoull(3) function, but still returns to the caller.

     nptr    The nptr, exactly as to be passed to the strtoull(3) system call.

     endptr  The endptr, exactly as to be passed to the strtoull(3) system call.

     base    The base, exactly as to be passed to the strtoull(3) system call.

RETURN VALUE
     The  explain_strtoull_or_die  function  only  returns  on success, see str-
     toull(3) for more information. On failure, prints an explanation and exits,
     it does not return.

     The explain_strtoull_on_error function always returns the value  return  by
     the wrapped strtoull(3) system call.

EXAMPLE
     The  explain_strtoull_or_die  function  is intended to be used in a fashion
     similar to the following example:
	    unsigned long long result = explain_strtoull_or_die(nptr, endptr, base);

SEE ALSO
     strtoull(3)
	     convert a string to an unsigned long integer

     explain_strtoull(3)
	     explain strtoull(3) errors

     exit(2)
	     terminate the calling process
