The output shows that you have "too few arguments". which isn't
surprising considering the odd setup of strtol or stroll.
If your string is NULL-terminate (character \0) you can pass NULL
as the second parameter, otherwise it needs to point to the
address of the last character for consideration in the string (say
that five times fast ;-))
This is incorrect, the second parameter has nothing to do with
determining the length of the string and the input string must always
be NULL terminated as it is a C string. The second parameter serves a
different purpose, if this value is not NULL strtoll will store in it
the address of the first invalid character it encountered in the
string, basically it tells you where it stopped converting the string
to a number, this is useful for telling if the whole string was
converted or how much of it was interpretable as a number.

Hrm, that does make more sense. Google search, FTL... Sorry for
spreading mis-info!!
I always used atol anyway ;-)
