man atou16 () - convert a string to a 16-bit unsigned integer.

NAME

atou16 - convert a string to a 16-bit unsigned integer.

LIBRARIES

Abz Library (-labz), Debug Library (-ldebug)

SYNOPSIS

#include <abz/atou16.h>

int atou16(const char *str, uint16_t *value);

DESCRIPTION

The atou16() function converts a string to a 16-bit unsigned integer.

RETURN VALUE

The atou16() function returns 0 if successful or -1 if the string is not a valid 16-bit unsigned integer.

Check errno to see what error occurred.

NOTES

None of the libabz routines are thread-safe. I'm not planning to change this either! For more information, please see http://threading.2038bug.com/

Please note that atou16() automatically converts octal (preceded by 0) and hexadecimal (preceded by 0x) numbers, so 077 is not 77, but rather 63.
