#### NAME

> strtoimax, strtoumax - convert string to integer type

#### SYNOPSIS

> ``#include <inttypes.h>
> intmax_t strtoimax(const char *restrict` nptr`, char **restrict` endptr`,
> int` base`);
> uintmax_t strtoumax(const char *restrict` nptr`, char **restrict` endptr`,
> int` base`);
> ``

#### DESCRIPTION

> [CX] The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 defers to the ISO C standard.

> These functions shall be equivalent to the strtol(), strtoll(), strtoul(), and strtoull() functions, except that the initial portion of the string shall be converted to intmax_t and uintmax_t representation, respectively.

#### RETURN VALUE

> These functions shall return the converted value, if any.

> If no conversion could be performed, zero shall be returned.

> If the correct value is outside the range of representable values, {INTMAX_MAX}, {INTMAX_MIN}, or {UINTMAX_MAX} shall be returned (according to the return type and sign of the value, if any), and errno shall be set to [ERANGE].

#### ERRORS

> These functions shall fail if:

> [ERANGE]
>   The value to be returned is not representable.

> These functions may fail if:

> [EINVAL]
>   The value of base is not supported.
