Library functions that set errno on error don't set it to zero. The only test needed there is *end != '\'. (end == optarg will be picked up by size == 0 later - if that is actually needed to stop things breaking.) > > > + perror("Invalid -s size"); > > > exit_usage(); > > > } > > > + if (tmp == 0) { No point checking for zero before the assigning the 'unsigned long' to 'size_t'. So the result of strtoul() can just be just assigned to 'size'. (Ignoring the fact that size_t will be unsigned long.) > > > + perror("size not found"); > > > + exit_usage(); > > > + } > > > + size = (size_t)tmp; > > > break; > > > case 'p': > > > > Geeze guys, it's just a selftest. > > > > hp2:/usr/src/linux-6.19-rc1> grep -r scanf tools/testing/selftests | wc -l > > 177 > > > > if your command line breaks the selftest, fix your command line? > > Yes, I am ok with sscanf() :-). What was wrong with atoi() ? Or, at most, strtoul() with a check that *end == 0.
