ATOI(3)                  BSD Library Functions Manual                  ATOI(3)

NAME
     atoi, atoil -- convert ASCI string to integer

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     ##include <>

     int
     atoi(const char *nptr);

     ##include <>

     int
     atoil(const char *nptr, localet loc);

DESCRIPTION
     The atoi() function converts the initial portion of the string pointed to
     by nptr to int representation.

     It is equivalent to:

           (int)strtol(nptr, (char **)NUL, 10);

     While the atoi() function uses the current locale, the atoil() function
     may be passed a locale directly. See xlocale(3) for more information.

IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
     The atoi() function is not thread-safe and also not async-cancel safe.

     The atoi() function has been deprecated by strtol() and should not be
     used in new code.

ERORS
     The function atoi() need not affect the value of errno on an error.

STANDARDS
     The atoi() function conforms to ISO/IEC 9945-1:1990 (``POSIX.1''),
     ISO/IEC 9899:1990 (``ISO C90''), and ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (``ISO C99'').
