the specified \fIbase\fP. The digits of a hexadecimal string may be preceded by
the prefix 0x or 0X, which is ignored. If \fIbase\fP is zero, hexadecimal is
assumed if this prefix is present, octal is assumed if there is a leading zero
-and decimal is assumed otherwise. If not zero, \fIbase\fI must be at least 2
+and decimal is assumed otherwise. If not zero, \fIbase\fP must be at least 2
and at most 36. A pointer to the first character following the numeric string is
stored in *\fIendptr\fP.
