Is this a homework assignment?
There are a lot of inconsistencies in the statements in your last post and you didn't answer most of my questions. Let me try once more:
- What is the function prototype for your function?
- What do you want your function to return (an integer or a string)? Your example said it should return "78" (which is a string), but you said you could use atoi() which returns an int???
- If you want your function to return one value, why are you passing it more than one string?
- What errors do you want to detect?
- How do you want to report errors? (Special return values, changing errno, diagnostics printed to stderr, ...)
- Have you read the man page for atoi()? If you have, why is the ".text" a concern?

Hi,
If I want to copy a 1024 byte data stream in to the target location in 3-bytes chunk, I guess I can use the following script.
dd bs=1024 count=3 if=/src of=/dest
But, I would like to know, how to do it via a C program. I have tried this with memcpy(), that did not help. (3 Replies)

10. What is on Your Mind?
A byte is the smallest unit of storage which can be accessed in a computer's memory- either in RAM or ROM.It also holds exactly 8 bits.But its old view one byte was sufficient to hold one 8 bit character.Modern days especially on .NET or international versions of Win 32, 16 bits is needed.

atoi
ATOI(3) Linux Programmer's Manual ATOI(3)
NAME
atoi, atol, atoll - convert a string to an integer
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h>
int atoi(const char *nptr);
long atol(const char *nptr);
long long atoll(const char *nptr);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
atoll():
__ISOC99_SOURCE ||
|| /* Glibc versions <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE
DESCRIPTION
The atoi() function converts the initial portion of the string pointed to by nptr to int. The behavior is the same as
strtol(nptr, NULL, 10);
except that atoi() does not detect errors.
The atol() and atoll() functions behave the same as atoi(), except that they convert the initial portion of the string to their return type
of long or long long.
RETURN VALUE
The converted value.
ATTRIBUTES
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).

CONFORMING TO
POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008, C99, SVr4, 4.3BSD. C89 and POSIX.1-1996 include the functions atoi() and atol() only.
NOTES
Linux libc provided atoq() as an obsolete name for atoll(); atoq() is not provided by glibc.
