namespace rtc {

// This file declares a family of functions to parse integers from strings.
// The standard C library functions either fail to indicate errors (atoi, etc.)
// or are a hassle to work with (strtol, sscanf, etc.). The standard C++ library
// functions (std::stoi, etc.) indicate errors by throwing exceptions, which
// are disabled in WebRTC.
//
// Integers are parsed using one of the following functions:
//   rtc::Optional<int-type> StringToNumber(const char* str, int base = 10);
//   rtc::Optional<int-type> StringToNumber(const std::string& str,
//                                          int base = 10);
//
// These functions parse a value from the beginning of a string into one of the
// fundamental integer types, or returns an empty Optional if parsing
// failed. Values outside of the range supported by the type will be
// rejected. The strings must begin with a digit or a minus sign. No leading
// space nor trailing contents are allowed.
// By setting base to 0, one of octal, decimal or hexadecimal will be
// detected from the string's prefix (0, nothing or 0x, respectively).
// If non-zero, base can be set to a value between 2 and 36 inclusively.
//
// If desired, this interface could be extended with support for floating-point
// types.
