int nbdkit_parse_uint64_t (const char *what,
const char *str, uint64_t *r);Parse string str into an integer of various types. These functions parse a decimal, hexadecimal ("0x...") or octal ("0...") number.
These functions deal correctly with overflow, out of range and parse errors, and you should use them instead of unsafe functions like sscanf(3), atoi(3) and similar.
The what parameter is printed in error messages to provide context. It should usually be a short descriptive string of what you are trying to parse, eg:
if (nbdkit_parse_int ("random seed", value, &seed) == -1)
return -1;might print an error:
random seed: could not parse number: "lalala"On success the functions return 0 and set *r to the parsed value (unless *r == NULL in which case the result is discarded).
On error, nbdkit_error(3) is called and the functions return -1. On error *r is always unchanged.
nbdkit_parse_int and the others were added in nbdkit 1.16.
nbdkit(1), nbdkit_parse_bool(3), nbdkit_parse_delay(3), nbdkit_parse_probability(3), nbdkit_parse_size(3), nbdkit-plugin(3), nbdkit-filter(3).
