Convert strings of ASCII characters to the appropriate numeric
    values. strtoll is a synonym for strtoq.

    This function is OpenVMS Alpha and Integrity servers only.

    Format

      #include  <stdlib.h>

      __int64 strtoq  (const char *nptr, char **endptr, int base);

      __int64 strtoll  (const char *nptr, char **endptr, int base);

1  –  Function Variants

    These functions have variants named _strtoq32, _strtoll32 and
    _strtoq64, _strtoll64 for use with 32-bit and 64-bit pointer
    sizes, respectively.

2  –  Arguments

 nptr

    A pointer to the character string to be converted to an __int64.

 endptr

    The address of an object where the function can store a pointer
    to the first unrecognized character encountered in the conversion
    process (that is, the character that follows the last character
    in the string being converted). If endptr is a NULL pointer, the
    address of the first unrecognized character is not retained.

 base

    The value, 2 through 36, to use as the base for the conversion.

3  –  Description

    The strtoq and strtoll functions recognize strings in various
    formats, depending on the value of the base. Any leading white-
    space characters (as defined by isspace in <ctype.h>) in the
    given string are ignored. The functions recognize an optional
    plus or minus sign, then a sequence of digits or letters that may
    represent an integer constant according to the value of the base.
    The first unrecognized character ends the conversion.

    Leading zeros after the optional sign are ignored, and 0x or 0X
    is ignored if the base is 16.

    If base is 0, the sequence of characters is interpreted by
    the same rules used to interpret an integer constant: after
    the optional sign, a leading 0 indicates octal conversion, a
    leading 0x or 0X indicates hexadecimal conversion, and any other
    combination of leading characters indicates decimal conversion.

    The function call atoq (str) is equivalent to strtoq (str,
    (char**)NULL, 10).

4  –  Return Values

    x                  The converted value.
    __INT64_MAX or     Indicates that the converted value would cause
    __INT64_MIN        an overflow.
    0                  Indicates that the string starts with an
                       unrecognized character or that the value for
                       base is invalid. If the string starts with
                       an unrecognized character, *endptr is set to
                       nptr.
