+.Sh NAME
+.Nm strtol, strtoq
+.Nd convert string value to a long or quad_t integer
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <stdlib.h>
+.Fd #include <limits.h>
+.Ft long
+.Fn strtol "char *nptr" "char **endptr" "int base"
+
+.Fd #include <sys/types.h>
+.Fd #include <stdlib.h>
+.Fd #include <limits.h>
+.Ft quad_t
+.Fn strtoq "char *nptr" "char **endptr" "int base"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn strtol
+function
+converts the string in
+.Fa nptr
+to a
+.Em long
+value.
+The
+.Fn strtoq
+function
+converts the string in
+.Fa nptr
+to a
+.Em quad_t
+value.
+The conversion is done according to the given
+.Fa base ,
+which must be between 2 and 36 inclusive,
+or be the special value 0.
+.Pp
+The string may begin with an arbitrary amount of white space
+(as determined by
+.Xr isspace 3 )
+followed by a single optional
+.Ql +
+or
+.Ql -
+sign.
+If
+.Fa base
+is zero or 16,
+the string may then include a
+.Ql 0x
+prefix,
+and the number will be read in base 16; otherwise, a zero
+.Fa base
+is taken as 10 (decimal) unless the next character is
+.Ql 0 ,
+in which case it is taken as 8 (octal).
+.Pp
+The remainder of the string is converted to a
+.Em long
+value in the obvious manner,
+stopping at the first character which is not a valid digit
+in the given base.
+(In bases above 10, the letter
+.Ql A
+in either upper or lower case
+represents 10,
+.Ql B
+represents 11, and so forth, with
+.Ql Z
+representing 35.)
+.Pp
+If
+.Fa endptr
+is non nil,
+.Fn strtol
+stores the address of the first invalid character in
+.Fa *endptr .
+If there were no digits at all, however,
+.Fn strtol
+stores the original value of
+.Fa nptr
+in
+.Fa *endptr .
+(Thus, if
+.Fa *nptr
+is not
+.Ql \e0
+but
+.Fa **endptr
+is
+.Ql \e0
+on return, the entire string was valid.)
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
+.Fn strtol
+function
+returns the result of the conversion,
+unless the value would underflow or overflow.
+If an underflow occurs,
+.Fn strtol
+returns
+.Dv LONG_MIN .
+If an overflow occurs,
+.Fn strtol
+returns
+.Dv LONG_MAX .
+In both cases,
+.Va errno
+is set to
+.Er ERANGE .
+.Sh ERRORS
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er ERANGE
+The given string was out of range; the value converted has been clamped.

+.Sh STANDARDS
