WCSTOUL(3P)		   POSIX Programmer's Manual		   WCSTOUL(3P)

PROLOG
       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the	 corresponding
       Linux  manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
       not be implemented on Linux.

NAME
       wcstoul, wcstoull — convert a wide-character string to an unsigned long

SYNOPSIS
       #include <wchar.h>

       unsigned long wcstoul(const wchar_t *restrict nptr,
	   wchar_t **restrict endptr, int base);
       unsigned long long wcstoull(const wchar_t *restrict nptr,
	   wchar_t **restrict endptr, int base);

DESCRIPTION
       The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with  the
       ISO C  standard.	 Any  conflict between the requirements described here
       and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This  volume  of  POSIX.1‐2008
       defers to the ISO C standard.

       The  wcstoul()  and wcstoull() functions shall convert the initial por‐
       tion of the wide-character string pointed to by nptr to	unsigned  long
       and  unsigned long long representation, respectively. First, they shall
       decompose the input wide-character string into three parts:

	1. An initial, possibly empty, sequence of white-space	wide-character
	   codes (as specified by iswspace())

	2. A  subject  sequence	 interpreted as an integer represented in some
	   radix determined by the value of base

	3. A final wide-character string of one	 or  more  unrecognized	 wide-
	   character codes, including the terminating null wide-character code
	   of the input wide-character string

       Then they shall attempt to convert the subject sequence to an  unsigned
       integer, and return the result.

       If  base	 is  0, the expected form of the subject sequence is that of a
       decimal constant, octal constant, or hexadecimal constant, any of which
       may  be preceded by a '+' or '−' sign. A decimal constant begins with a
       non-zero digit, and consists of a sequence of decimal digits. An	 octal
       constant	 consists  of the prefix '0' optionally followed by a sequence
       of the digits '0' to '7' only. A hexadecimal constant consists  of  the
       prefix  0x  or 0X followed by a sequence of the decimal digits and let‐
       ters 'a' (or 'A') to 'f' (or 'F') with values 10 to 15 respectively.

       If the value of base is between 2 and 36, the expected form of the sub‐
       ject sequence is a sequence of letters and digits representing an inte‐
       ger with the radix specified by base, optionally preceded by a  '+'  or
       '−' sign, but not including an integer suffix. The letters from 'a' (or
       'A') to 'z' (or 'Z') inclusive are ascribed the values 10 to  35;  only
       letters	whose ascribed values are less than that of base shall be per‐
       mitted. If the value of base is 16, the wide-character codes 0x	or  0X
       may  optionally	precede	 the sequence of letters and digits, following
       the sign if present.

       The subject sequence is defined as the longest initial  subsequence  of
       the input wide-character string, starting with the first wide-character
       code that is not white space and is of the expected form.  The  subject
       sequence	 contains  no wide-character codes if the input wide-character
       string is empty or  consists  entirely  of  white-space	wide-character
       codes,  or  if the first wide-character code that is not white space is
       other than a sign or a permissible letter or digit.

       If the subject sequence has the	expected  form	and  base  is  0,  the
       sequence of wide-character codes starting with the first digit shall be
       interpreted as an integer constant. If the  subject  sequence  has  the
       expected	 form  and  the value of base is between 2 and 36, it shall be
       used as the base for conversion, ascribing to each letter its value  as
       given  above.  If  the  subject	sequence begins with a minus-sign, the
       value resulting from the conversion shall be negated. A pointer to  the
       final wide-character string shall be stored in the object pointed to by
       endptr, provided that endptr is not a null pointer.

       In other than the C or POSIX locales, other implementation-defined sub‐
       ject sequences may be accepted.

       If the subject sequence is empty or does not have the expected form, no
       conversion shall be performed; the value of nptr shall be stored in the
       object  pointed	to  by	endptr,	 provided  that	 endptr	 is not a null
       pointer.

       These functions shall not change the setting of errno if successful.

       Since 0, {ULONG_MAX}, and {ULLONG_MAX} are returned on error and	 0  is
       also  a	valid  return  on success, an application wishing to check for
       error situations	 should	 set  errno  to	 0,  then  call	 wcstoul()  or
       wcstoull(), then check errno.

RETURN VALUE
       Upon  successful	 completion,  the  wcstoul()  and wcstoull() functions
       shall return the converted value, if any. If  no	 conversion  could  be
       performed,  0  shall  be	 returned and errno may be set to indicate the
       error.  If the correct value is outside the range of representable val‐
       ues,  {ULONG_MAX}  or  {ULLONG_MAX}  respectively shall be returned and
       errno set to [ERANGE].

ERRORS
       These functions shall fail if:

       EINVAL The value of base is not supported.

       ERANGE The value to be returned is not representable.

       These functions may fail if:

       EINVAL No conversion could be performed.
