[systemd-devel] How to handle untagged hexvalues in systemd code?

[Olaf Hering]

I submitted a correct and tested patch via https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/7581, which was using sscanf("0028f0", "%x",&val). During discussion I was soft-forced to use systemd helper functions. These (strtoull based) helpers expect "0x...", which sysfs does not provide. As a result 575e658 is broken. My fault, I did not doublecheck the updated submission...

So, how is one supposed to handle untagged hexvalues? Invent a new helper, or prepend "0x" if missing, or just use sscanf?
