* @param from - string with all the numerals of the number's numerical system.
* @param from_units_on_the_end - does the translate 'from' numerical system have units on the end (on the right)?
* @param from_first_number_void - does the translate 'from' numerical system start counting on the second number?
* @param from_infinite_base - is the translate 'from' numerical system first numeral infinite? For example, if first numeral is 'A', then does 'A' == 'AA' == 'AAA' == 'AAAA' ... ?
* @param to - string with all the numerals of the resulting number's numerical system.
* @param to_units_on_the_end - does the translate 'to' numerical system have units on the end (on the right)?
* @param to_first_number_void - does the translate 'to' numerical system start counting on the second number?
* @param to_infinite_base - is the translate 'to' numerical system first numeral infinite? For example, if first numeral is 'A', then does 'A' == 'AA' == 'AAA' == 'AAAA' ... ?
* @param number - number of the 'from' numerical system, to be translated into the 'to' numerical system.
* @param result_string - string to where to store the result.
*
* @return EINVAL if argument of result_string is not NULL.
* @return EDOM if number doesn't belong to the 'from' numerical system.
* @return ERANGE if the resulting number cannot be represented, because of a 'from' void number and a lack of void number in 'to'.
* @return EXIT_SUCCESS in case of success.
