Which are? uunfortunately, not part of C standard.

Not sure if that '?' is just a typo.  Anyway, yes they are both
part of the C standard. 

 
strto[u]l[l] are declared in <stdlib.h>  strtoimax and strtoumax are
declared in <inttypes.h>, which can make them easy to miss.

May be, that is the reason. But frankly, I expected that
cppreference.com will do better. As a minimum, strtoimax should have
ben listed in "See also" section on this page:
https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/string/byte/strtol

I agree, and I'm going to suggest that change.  (Editing of the page is
currently disabled for new users due to vandalism and I've had some
problems with my account.)

But <https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/string/byte/strtoimax> does
indicate that both functions are declared in <inttypes.h> and has
references to the C99 and later standards.
