This is not correct. strtol(3) does not return 0 in case of an

RETURN VALUES
The strtol(), strtoll(), strtoimax() and strtoq() functions
return the
result of the conversion, unless the value would underflow or
overflow.
***If no conversion could be performed, 0 is returned and the
global vari-
able errno is set to EINVAL.*** If an overflow or underflow
occurs, errno
is set to ERANGE and the function return value is clamped
according to
the following table.


This made me smile and laugh and giggle. And also hover my hand on the button
that controls the "Do not feed the troll" sign, but I'm still more amused
than annoyed.

Rule 1 of trolling: Never, ever be blatantly wrong about anything.
