       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 POSIX.1-2017
       defers to the ISO C standard.

       These functions shall convert the initial portion of the wide-character
       string pointed to by _n_p_t_r to lloonngg and lloonngg lloonngg, respectively. First,
       they shall decompose the input string into three parts:

        1. An initial, possibly empty, sequence of white-space wide-character
           codes (as specified by _i_s_w_s_p_a_c_e())

        2. A subject sequence interpreted as an integer represented in some
           radix determined by the value of _b_a_s_e

        3. A final wide-character string of one or more unrecognized wide-
           character codes, including the terminating null wide-character code
           of the input wide-character string

       Then they shall attempt to convert the subject sequence to an integer,
       and return the result.

       If _b_a_s_e is 0, the expected form of the subject sequence is that of a
       decimal constant, octal constant, or hexadecimal constant, any of which
       may be preceded by a ''++'' or ''--'' sign. A decimal constant begins with a
       non-zero digit, and consists of a sequence of decimal digits. An octal
       constant consists of the prefix ''00'' optionally followed by a sequence
       of the digits ''00'' to ''77'' only. A hexadecimal constant consists of the
       prefix 0x or 0X followed by a sequence of the decimal digits and
       letters ''aa'' (or ''AA'') to ''ff'' (or ''FF'') with values 10 to 15 respectively.

       If the value of _b_a_s_e is between 2 and 36, the expected form of the
       subject sequence is a sequence of letters and digits representing an
       integer with the radix specified by _b_a_s_e, optionally preceded by a ''++''
       or ''--'' sign, but not including an integer suffix. The letters from ''aa''
       (or ''AA'') to ''zz'' (or ''ZZ'') inclusive are ascribed the values 10 to 35;
       only letters whose ascribed values are less than that of _b_a_s_e shall be
       permitted. If the value of _b_a_s_e is 16, the wide-character code
       representations of 0x or 0X may optionally precede the sequence of
       letters and digits, following the sign if present.

       The subject sequence is defined as the longest initial subsequence of
       the input wide-character string, starting with the first non-white-
       space wide-character code that is of the expected form. The subject
       sequence contains no wide-character codes if the input wide-character
       string is empty or consists entirely of white-space wide-character
       code, or if the first non-white-space wide-character code is other than
       a sign or a permissible letter or digit.

       If the subject sequence has the expected form and _b_a_s_e is 0, the
       sequence of wide-character codes starting with the first digit shall be
       interpreted as an integer constant. If the subject sequence has the
       expected form and the value of _b_a_s_e is between 2 and 36, it shall be
       used as the base for conversion, ascribing to each letter its value as
       given above. If the subject sequence begins with a <hyphen-minus>, the
       value resulting from the conversion shall be negated. A pointer to the
       final wide-character string shall be stored in the object pointed to by
       _e_n_d_p_t_r, provided that _e_n_d_p_t_r is not a null pointer.

       In other than the C or POSIX locale, additional locale-specific subject
       sequence forms may be accepted.

       If the subject sequence is empty or does not have the expected form, no
       conversion shall be performed; the value of _n_p_t_r shall be stored in the
       object pointed to by _e_n_d_p_t_r, provided that _e_n_d_p_t_r is not a null
       pointer.

       These functions shall not change the setting of _e_r_r_n_o if successful.

       Since 0, {LONG_MIN} or {LLONG_MIN} and {LONG_MAX} or {LLONG_MAX} are
       returned on error and are also valid returns on success, an application
       wishing to check for error situations should set _e_r_r_n_o to 0, then call
       _w_c_s_t_o_l() or _w_c_s_t_o_l_l(), then check _e_r_r_n_o.

RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEE
       Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the converted
       value, if any. If no conversion could be performed, 0 shall be returned
       and _e_r_r_n_o may be set to indicate the error.  If the correct value is
       outside the range of representable values, {LONG_MIN}, {LONG_MAX},
       {LLONG_MIN}, or {LLONG_MAX} shall be returned (according to the sign of
       the value), and _e_r_r_n_o set to [[EERRAANNGGEE]].

       These functions shall fail if:

       EEIINNVVAALL The value of _b_a_s_e is not supported.

       EERRAANNGGEE The value to be returned is not representable.

       These functions may fail if:
