Padding variables

Is there a function in c that will allow me to pad variables?

I have an int that can't be longer than 10. I need to pad a numeric value with leading zeros

314
0000000314

Code:
int i=310;
printf("%010d\n",i);  /* fmt is: percent zero one zero dee newline */

output:
0000000314

try man printf or info printf for more on format specifiers
