An important +feature +of this function is the ability to accept data in various number bases +and convert to decimal.

If +it is set to NULL, STRTOL +seems to work its way down the string until it finds an invalid character +and then stops. All valid chars read are then converted if the string +starts with an invalid character the function returns ZERO (0). +<p> +The Third argument (base) can have a value of 0 or 2-32. +<ul> +<li>0 - strtol will attempt to pick the base.
