On page 618 line 21108 section atol(), change: long atol(const char *str); to: long atol(const char *nptr); On page 618 line 21114 section atol(), change: The call atol(str) shall be equivalent to: strtol(str, (char **)NULL, 10) to: Except as noted below, the call atol(nptr) shall be equivalent to: strtol(nptr, (char **)NULL, 10) On page 618 line 21116 section atol(), change: The call to atoll(nptr) shall be equivalent to: to: Except as noted below, the call to atoll(nptr) shall be equivalent to: On page 618 line 21118 section atol(), change: except that the handling of errors may differ. to: The handling of errors may differ. On page 618 line 21127 section atol(), change: The atol( ) function is subsumed by strtol() but is retained because it is used extensively in existing code. If the number is not known to be in range, strtol() should be used because atol() is not required to perform any error checking. to: If the number is not known to be in range, strtol() or strtoll() should be used because atol() and atoll() are not required to perform any error checking.
