simple_strtoll(9)

🎀 simple_strtoll 🎀

okay so bestie, this one's from the Kernel API Manual and it's literally just simple_strtoll — convert a string to a signed long long. that's the whole vibe. ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

long long simple_strtoll (const char *cp , char **endp , unsigned int base );

like yes that's the entire function signature, she's compact and she knows it 💅

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• cp — the start of the string, i.e. where you point her at the text she's about to read 🫶
• endp — a pointer to the end of the parsed string will be placed here, so she'll tell you exactly where she stopped reading. v important.
• base — the number base to use. your call, main character. 🌈

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so lowkey this function has caveats. like, it's giving "works but maybe not the one." 😭

the manual is fr fr clear on this: please use kstrtoll instead.

no cap, that's the whole description. she's short, she's honest, she's iconic for admitting it. 👑
