STRTOUMAX(3P)

💖 STRTOUMAX 💖

ok so bestie, this one is a POSIX Programmer's Manual page — that's the manual name, iykyk. Quick heads up before we dive in:

✨ PROLOG ✨ This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

🌸 NAME 🌸

strtoumax — convert a string to an integer type

the way it just *does that*… iconic behavior honestly

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <inttypes.h>

uintmax_t strtoumax(const char *restrict nptr, char **restrict endptr,
    int base);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

ngl bestie, this one is a little shy — it's just like:

Refer to strtoimax().

that's it. that's the whole description. it's giving "go ask my sibling". fr fr, strtoumax() is the unsigned bestie of strtoimax(), so the whole rundown lives over there. go read that one. 🫶
