We should set base to 0 to allow multiple basis (8, 10, 16), I see no reason to
limit to base 10, let's take the benefits out of strtoull. I suggest we use the
value 0 directly in the function, no need to have a local variable just for
this.

Some comments for this recurring pattern:
1. Why are you still doing conversion to uint64_t, as strtoull already returns
a 64-bit unsigned integer?
2. If you are checking errno after the call, you should first set errno to 0
before the call, right? See man strtoull, please.
3. The errno check does not fully handle the error cases, you should also use
the second argument (as opposed to setting it to NULL) to check that after the
call the value referenced by the second argument is 0. This ensures that there
are no illegal characters after the digits, such as in the case of "1234qwerty".
4. The comment just before the return does not bring any value, as it is
obvious that an error took place if you're returning an error.
5. I suggest you wrap the strtoull() usage into local function, such as
parse_u64() or similar.
