Tcl_GetInt(3) Tcl Library Procedures Tcl_GetInt(3) ______________________________________________________________________________
NAME
Tcl_GetInt, Tcl_GetDouble, Tcl_GetBoolean - convert from string to
integer, double, or boolean
SYNOPSIS
#include <tcl.h>
int
Tcl_GetInt(interp, src, intPtr)
int
Tcl_GetDouble(interp, src, doublePtr)
int
Tcl_GetBoolean(interp, src, boolPtr)
ARGUMENTS
Tcl_Interp *interp (in) Interpreter to use for error
reporting.
const char *src (in) Textual value to be converted.
int *intPtr (out) Points to place to store integer
value converted from src.
double *doublePtr (out) Points to place to store double-
precision floating-point value con-
verted from src.
int *boolPtr (out) Points to place to store boolean
value (0 or 1) converted from src.

DESCRIPTION
These procedures convert from strings to integers or double-precision
floating-point values or booleans (represented as 0- or 1-valued inte-
gers). Each of the procedures takes a src argument, converts it to an
internal form of a particular type, and stores the converted value at
the location indicated by the procedure's third argument. If all goes
well, each of the procedures returns TCL_OK. If src does not have the
proper syntax for the desired type then TCL_ERROR is returned, an error
message is left in the interpreter's result, and nothing is stored at
*intPtr or *doublePtr or *boolPtr.
Tcl_GetInt expects src to consist of a collection of integer digits,
optionally signed and optionally preceded and followed by white space.
If the first two characters of src after the optional white space and
sign are "0x" then src is expected to be in hexadecimal form; other-
wise, if the first such characters are "0o" then src is expected to be
in octal form; otherwise, if the first such characters are "0b" then
src is expected to be in binary form; otherwise, if the first such
character is "0" then src is expected to be in octal form; otherwise,
src is expected to be in decimal form.
Tcl_GetDouble expects src to consist of a floating-point number, which
is: white space; a sign; a sequence of digits; a decimal point ".";
a sequence of digits; the letter "e"; a signed decimal exponent; and
more white space. Any of the fields may be omitted, except that the
digits either before or after the decimal point must be present and if
the "e" is present then it must be followed by the exponent number. If
there are no fields apart from the sign and initial sequence of digits
(i.e., no decimal point or exponent indicator), that initial sequence
of digits should take one of the forms that Tcl_GetInt supports,
described above. The use of "," as a decimal point is not supported nor
should any other sort of inter-digit separator be present.
Tcl_GetBoolean expects src to specify a boolean value. If src is any
of 0, false, no, or off, then Tcl_GetBoolean stores a zero value at
*boolPtr. If src is any of 1, true, yes, or on, then 1 is stored at
*boolPtr. Any of these values may be abbreviated, and upper-case
spellings are also acceptable.
