atoi(3)                  BSD Library Functions Manual                  atoi(3)


NAME

     atoi, atoi_l -- convert ASCII string to integer


LIBRARY

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)


SYNOPSIS

     #include <stdlib.h>

     int
     atoi(const char *str);

     #include <xlocale.h>

     int
     atoi_l(const char *str, locale_t loc);


DESCRIPTION

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

     It is equivalent to:

           (int)strtol(str, (char **)NULL, 10);

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


IMPLEMENTATION NOTES

     The atoi() and atoi_l() functions are thread-safe and async-cancel-safe.

     The atoi() and atoi_l() functions have been deprecated by strtol() and
     strtol_l() and should not be used in new code.


ERRORS

     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'').
