kstrtoul: convert a string to an unsigned long
NAME
kstrtoul - convert a string to an unsigned long
SYNOPSIS
-
int kstrtoul(const char
* s, unsigned intbase, unsigned long * res);
ARGUMENTS
s
-
- The start of the string. The string must be null-terminated, and may also include a single newline before its terminating null. The first character may also be a plus sign, but not a minus sign.
base
- The number base to use. The maximum supported base is 16. If base is given as 0, then the base of the string is automatically detected with the conventional semantics - If it begins with 0x the number will be parsed as a hexadecimal (case insensitive), if it otherwise begins with 0, it will be parsed as an octal number. Otherwise it will be parsed as a decimal.
res
- Where to write the result of the conversion on success.
DESCRIPTION
Returns 0 on success, -ERANGE on overflow and -EINVAL on parsing error. Used as a replacement for the obsolete simple_strtoull. Return code must be checked.
