explain_strtoll_or_die

NAME

explain_strtoll_or_die − convert a string to a long integer and report errors

SYNOPSIS

#include <libexplain/strtoll.h>
long long explain_strtoll_or_die(const char *nptr, char **endptr, int base);
long long explain_strtoll_on_error(const char *nptr, char **endptr, int base))

DESCRIPTION

The explain_strtoll_or_die function is used to call the strtoll(3) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_strtoll(3) function, and then the process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

The explain_strtoll_on_error function is used to call the strtoll(3) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_strtoll(3) function, but still returns to the caller.

RETURN VALUE

The explain_strtoll_or_die function only returns on success, see strtoll(3) for more information. On failure, prints an explanation and exits, it does not return.

The explain_strtoll_on_error function always returns the value return by the wrapped strtoll(3) system call.

EXAMPLE

The explain_strtoll_or_die function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:

long long result = explain_strtoll_or_die(nptr, endptr, base);
