+// This file declares a family of functions to parse integers from strings.
+// The standard C library functions either fail to indicate errors (atoi, etc.)
+// or are a hassle to work with (strtol, sscanf, etc.). The standard C++ library
+// functions (std::stoi, etc.) indicate errors by throwing exceptions, which
+// are disabled in WebRTC.
+//
+// Integers are parsed using one of the following functions:
+//   rtc::Optional<int-type> StringToNumber(const char* str, int base = 10);
+//   rtc::Optional<int-type> StringToNumber(const std::string& str,
+//                                          int base = 10);
+//
+// These functions parse a value from the beginning of a string into one of the
+// fundamental integer types, or returns an empty Optional if parsing
+// failed. Values outside of the range supported by the type will be
+// rejected. By setting base to 0, one of octal, decimal or hexadecimal will be
+// detected from the string's prefix (0, nothing or 0x, respectively).
+// If non-zero, base can be set to a value between 2 and 36 inclusively.
+//
+// If desired, this interface could be extended with support for floating-point
+// types.
