Summary0000892: You forget atoll
Description-The atol( ) function is subsumed by strtol( ) but is retained because it is used extensively in
-existing code. If the number is not known to be in range, strtol( ) should be used because atol( ) is
-not required to perform any error checking.
+The atol( ) function is subsumed by strtol( ) (and atoll( ) by strtoll( )) but is retained because it is used extensively in
+existing code. If the number is not known to be in range, strtol( ) (strtoll( )) should be used because atol( ) (atoll( )) is
+not required to perform any error checking.

Also, I think it is good idea to merge atof, atoi, atol and atoll articles to one article.

Also, I don't see why atoll argument is named nptr (unlike atol argument), so, I think it should be renamed to str.
Desired ActionFix...

The suggestion for merging atoi with atol/atoll is worthwhile, but belongs in a separate bug targetted at Issue 8. The suggestion for merging atof was turned down, as atof/strtod is not the same as atoi/strtol (the str counterparts have different numbers of parameters, and floating point is different from integer math for having to think about things like NaN).
