Change Details

From the strtonum(3) manpage: strtonum() is an OpenBSD extension. The existing alternatives, such as atoi(3C) and strtol(3C), are either impossible or difficult to use safely. It would be useful if there was a new function that had the use and safety properties of strtonum() but which understood base prefixes like the strtol(3) family of functions does.

Add strtonumx(), a companion to strtonum(3) that preserves its safety and error-reporting semantics while allowing the caller to specify a conversion base, similar to the strtol(3) family of functions.
