Convert the initial portion of the string pointed to by nptr to
    an unsigned __int64 integer. strtoull is a synonym for strtouq.

    This function is OpenVMS Alpha and Integrity servers only.

    Format

      #include  <stdlib.h>

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

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

1  –  Function Variants

    These functions have variants named _strtouq32, _strtoull32 and
    _strtouq64, _strtoull64 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 unsigned
    __int64.

 endptr

    The address of an object where the function can store a pointer
    to 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.
    Leading zeros after the optional sign are ignored, and 0x or 0X
    is ignored if the base is 16.

    If the 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.

3  –  Return Values

    x                  The converted value.
    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.
    __UINT64_MAX       Indicates that the converted value would cause
                       an overflow.
