119 .\" function is present in glibc 2 since version 2.0.2, but

122 POSIX.1 leaves the return value of
124 on error unspecified.
125 On glibc, musl libc, and uClibc, 0 is returned on error.
128 is not set on error so there is no way to distinguish between 0 as an
129 error and as the converted value.
130 No checks for overflow or underflow are done.
131 Only base-10 input can be converted.
132 It is recommended to instead use the
136 family of functions in new programs.
