The strtol, strtoll, strtoul, and strtoull functions return the converted value, if any. If no conversion could be performed, zero is returned. If the correct value
is outside the range of representable values, LONG_MIN, LONG_MAX, LLONG_MIN, LLONG_MAX, ULONG_MAX, or ULLONG_MAX is returned (according to the return type and sign of the value, if any), and the value of the macro ERANGE is stored in errno.

  According to the man page, the only time 0 is returned on error is when {{end_ptr == argv\[1\]}}, so I edited the solution to check for the three cases when {{errno}} can get set - alexv 5/6

The only reserved rule left is TMP31-C, which is awaiting decision from RCS. -pdc 5/1

• integrate the concerns of TMP33-C. Temporary files must be removed before the program exits into TMP30-C. Temporary files must be created with unique and unpredictable file names by reiterating the need to clean up after temp files
  • done, but someone else should make sure they like the way I addressed this before deleting TMP33
  • then delete it as it is way redundant
• Be clear that there is no good solution for cleaning up after abnormal termination other than using a /tmp directory, but then that violates TMP00-A. Do not create temporary files in shared directories
  • There is a trade-off here... use a shared directory and worry more about security, or use a private directory and worry about cleanup
• We need more work on TMP00-A. Do not create temporary files in shared directories
  • Explain all the downsides to chroot jail (copying over DLLs, portability, how it is a HUGE mess, etc)
  • Demonstrate a good to way to create a private directory that is not as hard as a jail
  • Resolve the contradictions inherent between this rec and TMP33.. we say use }}{{{}{}{}{}{}{}{}tempnam in one, but say not to use }}{{{}{}{}{}{}{}{}tmpnam in another, moreover, our rule to use }}{{{}{}{}{}{}{}{}mkstemp or }}{{{}{}{}{}{}{}{}tmpfile_s contradicts TMP00 since neither guarantee a non-shared directory
    • use mkstemp and remember to clean up, then everyone is happy
