`parse_timestamp()`#

parse_timestamp converts a string representation of a number into an unsigned integer using the specified base.

C

Prototype

uintmax_t parse_timestamp(
    const char *str,
    char **endptr,
    int base
);

Parameters

Key	Type	Description
`str`	`const char *`	Pointer to the null-terminated string containing the number to convert.
`endptr`	`char **`	Pointer to a character pointer that will be set to the first invalid character after the number.
`base`	`int`	Numerical base to use for conversion (e.g., 10 for decimal, 16 for hexadecimal).

Return Value

Returns the converted unsigned integer value. If no valid conversion is performed, returns UINTMAX_MAX.

Notes

This function is a wrapper around strtoumax, ensuring safe conversion of string-based timestamps.
