NAME

       explain_strtoll_or_die  - convert a string to a long integer and report
       errors

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libexplain/strtoll.h>
       long long explain_strtoll_or_die(const char *nptr, char  **endptr,  int
       base);
       long long explain_strtoll_on_error(const char *nptr, char **endptr, int
       base))

DESCRIPTION

       The explain_strtoll_or_die function is  used  to  call  the  strtoll(3)
       system  call.  On  failure  an  explanation  will be printed to stderr,
       obtained from the explain_strtoll(3) function,  and  then  the  process
       terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

       The  explain_strtoll_on_error  function  is used to call the strtoll(3)
       system call. On failure an  explanation  will  be  printed  to  stderr,
       obtained from the explain_strtoll(3) function, but still returns to the
       caller.

       nptr    The nptr, exactly as to be  passed  to  the  strtoll(3)  system
               call.

       endptr  The  endptr,  exactly  as to be passed to the strtoll(3) system
               call.

       base    The base, exactly as to be  passed  to  the  strtoll(3)  system
               call.

RETURN VALUE

       The  explain_strtoll_or_die  function  only  returns  on  success,  see
       strtoll(3) for more information. On failure, prints an explanation  and
       exits, it does not return.

       The  explain_strtoll_on_error  function always returns the value return
       by the wrapped strtoll(3) system call.

EXAMPLE

       The explain_strtoll_or_die function is intended to be used in a fashion
       similar to the following example:
              long long result = explain_strtoll_or_die(nptr, endptr, base);
