Very often when we want to convert a string to number, we assume that the string contains only a number. We have g_ascii_strto* family of functions to do the conversion but they are awkward to use - one has to check if errno is zero, end_ptr is not NULL and *end_ptr points to the terminating nul and then do the bounds checking. Many projects need this kind of functionality, so it gets reimplemented all the time. This commit adds some replacement functions that convert a string to a signed or unsigned number that also follows the usual way of error reporting - returning FALSE on failure and filling an error output parameter.
This package contains the reference documentation for GLib. For more information about Glib, see: http://www.gtk.org For information about contributing to the GLib/GTK+ reference documentation project, see: http://www.gtk.org/rdp/ The GLib reference documentation is freely redistributable, see the file COPYING for details. REQUIREMENTS ============ To build the documentation, you must have the gtk-doc package installed. To rebuild the template files, you must have the current version of the GLib header files installed. BUILD ===== First, run configure to generate the makefiles for this module. There is one option specific to this package --with-html-dir=DIR top of installed HTML documentation tree The Makefiles for this module define three targets: templates: Scan the headers and merge the results with the current template files sgml: Generate SGML files using the DocBook DTD from the template files html: Generate HTML from the SGML files. To build the documentation, do: make sgml make html You should only run the 'make templates' step if you need to regenerate the templates for a more recent version of the GLib sources. INSTALLATION ============ make install
