NAME top

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

SYNOPSIS top

   #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 top

   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.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard.

   The _wcstoul_() and _wcstoull_() functions shall convert the initial
   portion 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 letters **'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
   subject sequence is a sequence of letters and digits representing
   an integer 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 permitted. 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 <hyphen-minus>, 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 locale, additional locale-specific
   subject sequence forms 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](../man3/errno.3.html)_ 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](../man3/errno.3.html)_ to 0, then call _wcstoul_() or
   _wcstoull_(), then check _[errno](../man3/errno.3.html)_.

RETURN VALUE top

   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](../man3/errno.3.html)_ may be set to indicate
   the error.  If the correct value is outside the range of
   representable values, {ULONG_MAX} or {ULLONG_MAX} respectively
   shall be returned and _[errno](../man3/errno.3.html)_ set to **[ERANGE]**.

ERRORS top

   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.
