atoi_l

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 informa-
     tion.

IMPLEMENTATION NOTES

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

     The strtol() and strtol_l() functions are recommended instead of atoi() and atoi_l() functions, especially in new code.

ERRORS

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

SEE ALSO

     atof(3), atol(3), strtod(3), strtol(3), strtoul(3), xlocale(3)

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'').
