Function Documentation

long long explain_strtoll_or_die	(	const char *	nptr,
		char **	endptr,
		int	base
	)

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).

Parameters:

nptr	The nptr, exactly as to be passed to the strtoll(3) system call.
endptr	The endptr, exactly as to be passed to the strtoll(3) system call.
base	The base, exactly as to be passed to the strtoll(3) system call.

Returns:

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

Example:

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

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