Thanks Nicolas and Michael, it is very helpful.
After reread the exif orientation doc, I realized that the correct value
should be in range [1,8], that is, 0 is considered as invalid.

So the new version is still using "atoi", since it return 0 for either
input  "0" or "This is a test", and 0 considered as invalid in any case.

I am not against using strtol, which is a superset of atoi. Let me know if
there is a code preference in ffmpeg since I see strtol is more widely used.

Best Regards,
Jun
