*
*                       (1) Destination buffer size MUST be large enough to accommodate the entire source

*
*               (2) (a) (1) IEEE Std 1003.1, 2004 Edition, Section 'strncpy() : DESCRIPTION' states that :

*                               states that "if there is no null byte in the first 'n' ('len_max') bytes of

*
*                   (c) IEEE Std 1003.1, 2004 Edition, Section 'strncpy() : DESCRIPTION' states that "if

*
*                           This is NOT a leading character; but a single integer digit of '0' value.
*
*               (4) (a) NULL-character terminate option DISABLED prevents overwriting previous character
*                       array formatting.
*
*                   (b) WARNING: Unless 'pstr' character array is pre-/post-terminated, NULL-character
*                       terminate option DISABLED will cause character string run-on.
*
*               (5) (a) Format buffer size NOT validated; buffer overruns MUST be prevented by caller.
*
*                   (b) To prevent character buffer overrun :
*
*                           Character array size MUST be  >=  ('nbr_dig'          +
*                                                               1 'NUL' terminator)  characters
*
*               (6) For any unsuccessful string format or error(s), an invalid string of question marks
*                   ('?') will be formatted, where the number of question marks is determined by the
*                   number of digits to format ('nbr_dig') :
*
*                      Invalid string's     {  (a)   0 (NULL string)  ,  if 'nbr_dig' = 0
*                          number of     =  {

*                               ('lead_char') is     a '0' digit; then the negative sign character
*                               prefixes all leading characters prior to the formatted number.
*
*                                   Example :
*
*                                       nbr       = -23456.789

*
*                           (B) If the number to format ('nbr') is negative AND the leading character
*                               ('lead_char') is NOT a '0' digit; then the negative sign character
*                               immediately prefixes the most significant digit of the formatted number.
*
*                                   Examples :
*
*                                       nbr       = -23456.789
*                                       nbr_dig   =  8

*
*                   (c) (1) If the integer value of the number to format is zero & ...
*                       (2) ... the number of digits to format is greater than one ...
*                       (3) ... OR  the number is NOT negative,                    ...
*                       (4) ... but NO leading character available;                ...
*                       (5) ... then one digit of '0' value is formatted.
*
*                           This is NOT a leading character; but a single integer digit of '0' value.
*
*                       See also Note #2b4B.

*               (4) (a) NULL-character terminate option DISABLED prevents overwriting previous character
*                       array formatting.
*
*                   (b) WARNING: Unless 'pstr' character array is pre-/post-terminated, NULL-character
*                       terminate option DISABLED will cause character string run-on.
*
*               (5) (a) Format buffer size NOT validated; buffer overruns MUST be prevented by caller.
*
*                   (b) To prevent character buffer overrun :
*
*                           Character array size MUST be  >=  ('nbr_dig'          +

*
*               (6) String format terminates when :
*
*                   (a) Format string pointer is passed a NULL pointer.
*                       (1) No      string formatted;                NULL pointer returned.

*
*                   (c) Number of digits to format ('nbr_dig') is less than number of significant
*                           integer digits of the number to format ('nbr'), including possible
*                           negative sign.

*
* Description : Parse 32-bit unsigned integer from string.
*
* Argument(s) : pstr        Pointer to string (see Notes #1 & #2a).
*
*               pstr_next   Optional pointer to a variable to ... :
*
*                               (a) Return a pointer to first character following the integer string,
*                                       if NO error(s) [see Note #2a2B2];
*                               (b) Return a pointer to 'pstr',
*                                       otherwise      (see Note #2a2A2).
*
*               nbr_base    Base of number to parse (see Notes #2a1B1 & #2a2B1).
*
* Return(s)   : Parsed integer,      if integer parsed with NO overflow   (see Note #2a3A).
*
*               DEF_INT_32U_MAX_VAL, if integer parsed but     overflowed (see Note #2a3A1).

*
* Caller(s)   : Application.

* Note(s)     : (1) String buffer NOT modified.
*
*               (2) (a) IEEE Std 1003.1, 2004 Edition, Section 'strtoul() : DESCRIPTION' states that "these
*                       functions shall convert the initial portion of the string pointed to by 'str' ('pstr')
*                       to a type unsigned long ... representation" :
*
*                       (1) "First, they decompose the input string into three parts" :
*
*                           (A) "An initial, possibly empty, sequence of white-space characters [as specified
*                                by isspace()]."
*
*                               (1) "The subject sequence is defined as the longest initial subsequence of the
*                                    input string, starting with the first non-white-space character that is of
*                                    the expected form.  The subject sequence shall contain no characters if the
*                                    input string is empty or consists entirely of white-space characters."

*                                        subject sequence is that of a decimal constant, octal constant, or
*                                        hexadecimal constant" :

*                                            (or 'F') with values 10 to 15 respectively."
*
*                                   (b) "If the value of 'base' ('nbr_base') is between 2 and 36, the expected form
*                                        of the subject sequence is a sequence of letters and digits representing

*                                       (1) (A) "The letters from 'a' (or 'A') to 'z' (or 'Z') inclusive are
*                                                ascribed the values 10 to 35"; ...

*                                           (B) Although NO specification states that "if the value of 'base'

*
*                                   (a) However, it does NOT seem reasonable to parse & convert a negative number
*                                       integer string into an unsigned integer.
*

*                               (2) "other than a sign or a permissible letter or digit."
*$PAGE*
*                       (2) Second, "they shall attempt to convert the subject sequence to an unsigned integer" :
*
*                           (A) "If the subject sequence is empty or does not have the expected form" :
*
*                               (1) "no conversion [is] performed"; ...
*                               (2) "the value of 'str' ('pstr') [is] stored in the object pointed to by 'endptr'

*                                        starting with the first digit shall be interpreted as an integer constant."
*
*                                   (b) "and the value of 'base' ('nbr_base') is between 2 and 36, it shall be
*                                        used as the base for conversion, ascribing to each letter its value as

*                                       otherwise      (see Note #2a2A2).
*
*               nbr_base    Base of number to parse (see Notes #2a1B1 & #2a2B1).
*
* Return(s)   : Parsed integer,      if integer parsed with NO over- or underflow (see Note #2a3A).
*
*               DEF_INT_32S_MIN_VAL, if integer parsed but negatively underflowed (see Note #2a3A1a).
*
*               DEF_INT_32U_MAX_VAL, if integer parsed but positively overflowed  (see Note #2a3A1b).

* Note(s)     : (1) String buffer NOT modified.
*
*               (2) (a) IEEE Std 1003.1, 2004 Edition, Section 'strtol() : DESCRIPTION' states that "these
*                       functions shall convert the initial portion of the string pointed to by 'str' ('pstr')
*                       to a type long ... representation" :
*
*                       (1) "First, they decompose the input string into three parts" :
*
*                           (A) "An initial, possibly empty, sequence of white-space characters [as specified

*                                    input string, starting with the first non-white-space character that is of
*                                    the expected form.  The subject sequence shall contain no characters if the
*                                    input string is empty or consists entirely of white-space characters."

*                                    determined by the value of 'base' ('nbr_base')" :
*
*                                   (a) "If the value of 'base' ('nbr_base') is 0, the expected form of the
*                                        subject sequence is that of a decimal constant, octal constant, or
*                                        hexadecimal constant" :

*
*                                       (3) "A hexadecimal constant consists of the prefix '0x' or '0X' followed

*                                            (or 'F') with values 10 to 15 respectively."
*
*                                   (b) "If the value of 'base' ('nbr_base') is between 2 and 36, the expected form

*                                               allow the '0' character to be optionally parsed.
*
*                               (2) "A subject sequence .... may be preceded by a '+' or '-' sign."
*
*                                   (a) However, it does NOT seem reasonable to parse & convert a negative number
*                                       integer string into an unsigned integer.
*
*                           (C) (1) (a) "A final string of one or more unrecognized characters,"  ...
*                                   (b) "including the terminating null byte of the input string" ...

*                                   (b) "If the value of 'base' ('nbr_base') is between 2 and 36, the expected form
*                                        of the subject sequence is a sequence of letters and digits representing
*                                        an integer with the radix specified by 'base' ('nbr_base')" :
*
*                                       (1) (A) "The letters from 'a' (or 'A') to 'z' (or 'Z') inclusive are
*                                                ascribed the values 10 to 35"; ...
*                                           (B) "only letters whose ascribed values are less than that of base

*                                       (2) (A) "If the value of 'base' ('nbr_base') is 16, the characters '0x' or
*                                               '0X' may optionally precede the sequence of letters and digits."
*
*                                           (B) Although NO specification states that "if the value of 'base'
*                                               ('nbr_base') is" 8, the '0' character "may optionally precede
*                                               the sequence of letters and digits"; it seems reasonable to
*                                               allow the '0' character to be optionally parsed.
*$PAGE*
*                               (2) "A subject sequence .... may be preceded by a '+' or '-' sign."
*
*                                   (a) It does NOT seem reasonable to parse & convert a negative number
*                                       integer string into an unsigned integer.  However, a negative sign
*                                       for an unsigned integer will automatically be parsed as an invalid
*                                       character (see Note #2aC1).
*
*                           (C) (1) (a) "A final string of one or more unrecognized characters,"  ...
*                                   (b) "including the terminating null byte of the input string" ...
*                               (2) "other than a sign or a permissible letter or digit."
*
*                       (2) Second, "they shall attempt to convert the subject sequence to an integer" :
*
*                           (A) "If the subject sequence is empty or does not have the expected form" :
*
*                               (1) "no conversion is performed"; ...
*                               (2) "the value of 'str' ('pstr') is stored in the object pointed to by 'endptr'
*                                    ('pstr_next'), provided that 'endptr' ('pstr_next') is not a null pointer."
*
*                           (B) "If the subject sequence has the expected form" :
*
*                               (1) (a) "and the value of 'base' ('nbr_base') is 0, the sequence of characters
*                                        starting with the first digit shall be interpreted as an integer constant."
*
*                                   (b) "and the value of 'base' ('nbr_base') is between 2 and 36, it shall be
*                                        used as the base for conversion, ascribing to each letter its value as
*                                        given above" (see Note #2a1B1b1A).
*
*                               (2) "A pointer to the final string shall be stored in the object pointed to by
*                                   'endptr' ('pstr_next'), provided that 'endptr' ('pstr_next') is not a null
*                                   pointer."
*
*                       (3) Lastly, IEEE Std 1003.1, 2004 Edition, Section 'strtol() : RETURN VALUE' states that :
*
*                           (A) "Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the converted value."
*                               (1) "If the correct value is outside the range of representable values, {LONG_MIN}
*                                    [or] {LONG_MAX} ... shall be returned."
*
*                           (B) "If no conversion could be performed, 0 shall be returned."
*
*                   (b) (1) IEEE Std 1003.1, 2004 Edition, Section 'strtoul() : ERRORS' states that "these functions
*                           shall fail if" :
*
*                           (A) "[EINVAL] - The value of 'base' ('nbr_base') is not supported."
*
*                           (B) "[ERANGE] - The value to be returned is not representable."
*
*                       (2) IEEE Std 1003.1, 2004 Edition, Section 'strtoul() : ERRORS' states that "these functions
*                           may fail if" :

*                           (A) "[EINVAL] - No conversion could be performed."
