Declaration [src]
gboolean
g_ascii_string_to_signed (
  const gchar* str,
  guint base,
  gint64 min,
  gint64 max,
  gint64* out_num,
  GError** error
)
Description [src]
A convenience function for converting a string to a signed number.
This function assumes that str contains only a number of the given
base that is within inclusive bounds limited by min and max. If
this is true, then the converted number is stored in out_num. An
empty string is not a valid input. A string with leading or
trailing whitespace is also an invalid input.
base can be between 2 and 36 inclusive. Hexadecimal numbers must
not be prefixed with “0x” or “0X”. Such a problem does not exist
for octal numbers, since they were usually prefixed with a zero
which does not change the value of the parsed number.
Parsing failures result in an error with the G_NUMBER_PARSER_ERROR
domain. If the input is invalid, the error code will be
G_NUMBER_PARSER_ERROR_INVALID. If the parsed number is out of
bounds - G_NUMBER_PARSER_ERROR_OUT_OF_BOUNDS.
See g_ascii_strtoll() if you have more complex needs such as
parsing a string which starts with a number, but then has other characters.

Parameters
- str
- 
            Type: const gchar*A string to convert. The data is owned by the caller of the function. The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string. 
- base
- 
            Type: guintBase of a parsed number. 
- min
- 
            Type: gint64A lower bound (inclusive). 
- max
- 
            Type: gint64An upper bound (inclusive). 
- out_num
- 
            Type: gint64*A return location for a number. The argument will be set by the function. The argument can be NULL.
- error
- 
            Type: GError **The return location for a recoverable error. The argument can be NULL.If the return location is not NULL, then you must initialize it to aNULLGError*.The argument will be left initialized to NULLby the function if there are no errors.In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.
