For a return from
main(), the return code is equivalent to a call to
exit() with that return code. And from the standards, the description of
exit(status) is:
Quote:
The value of status may be 0, EXIT_SUCCESS, EXIT_FAILURE, or any other value, though only the least significant 8 bits (that is, status & 0377) shall be available to a waiting parent process.
For a return from any other function, the return value is determined by how that function is declared and the documented behavior of that function. For example, in C,
fopen() returns a FILE pointer or NULL;
sprintf() returns a pointer to a string or NULL,
strtoll() returns a signed long long integer,
strtoull() returns an unsigned long long integer, etc.

NAME
ltostr(), ultostr(), ltoa(), ultoa() - convert long integers to strings
SYNOPSIS
Obsolescent Interfaces
DESCRIPTION
Convert a signed long integer to the corresponding string
representation in the specified base. The argument base must be between 2 and 36, inclusive.
Convert an unsigned long integer to the corresponding string
representation in the specified base. The argument base must be between 2 and 36, inclusive.
Convert a signed long integer to the corresponding base 10
string representation, returning a pointer to the result.
Convert an unsigned long integer to the corresponding base 10
string representation, returning a pointer to the result.
These functions are smaller and faster than using for simple conversions (see printf(3S)).

convert long integers to strings.
ERRORS
If the value of base is not between 2 and 36, and return NULL and set the external variable to ERANGE.
