10 unsigned long long explain_strtoull_or_die(const char *nptr, char
11 **endptr, int base);
12 unsigned long long explain_strtoull_on_error(const char *nptr, char
13 **endptr, int base))

16 The explain_strtoull_or_die function is used to call the strtoull(3)
17 system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr,
18 obtained from the explain_strtoull(3) function, and then the process
19 terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
20
21 The explain_strtoull_on_error function is used to call the strtoull(3)
22 system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr,
23 obtained from the explain_strtoull(3) function, but still returns to
24 the caller.
25
26 nptr The nptr, exactly as to be passed to the strtoull(3) system
27 call.
28
29 endptr The endptr, exactly as to be passed to the strtoull(3) system
30 call.
31
32 base The base, exactly as to be passed to the strtoull(3) system
33 call.
34
36 The explain_strtoull_or_die function only returns on success, see str‐
37 toull(3) for more information. On failure, prints an explanation and
38 exits, it does not return.
39
40 The explain_strtoull_on_error function always returns the value return
41 by the wrapped strtoull(3) system call.
42
44 The explain_strtoull_or_die function is intended to be used in a fash‐
45 ion similar to the following example:
46 unsigned long long result = explain_strtoull_or_die(nptr, endptr, base);
47
49 strtoull(3)
50 convert a string to an unsigned long integer
51
52 explain_strtoull(3)
53 explain strtoull(3) errors
54
55 exit(2) terminate the calling process
