FUNCTION::STRTOL(3stap)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, meet function::strtol — aka strtol, aka the little guy whose whole job is to Convert a string to a long. that's it. that's the gig. no cap. ✨

(and if you're wondering what page this even is — it's FUNCTION::STRTOL(3stap), one page in the SystemTap Tapset Reference, a collection of standard strin… well, the header kinda cuts off right there, but you get the vibe 🎀)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

strtol:long(str:string,base:long)

look at her. clean. iconic. takes a string, takes a base, hands you back a long. periodt. 💅

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• str — the string to convert. literally the number-in-disguise you want translated. 🦋
• base — the base to use. as in which number base. you're picking the math flavour here. 🍓

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so the whole point: this function converts the string representation of a number into an actual integer. glow-up complete. 😭✨

the base parameter is the part where you tell it which number base to assume for the string. like, 16 for hex, 8 for octal, 2 for binary. so if your string is living its hex life, you say 16 and she gets it. main character energy fr fr. 🔥
