The atoi() function converts
the initial portion of the string pointed to by nptr to int. The behavior is the same as
strtol(nptr, (char **) 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. atoq()
is an obsolete name for atoll().
RETURN VALUE
The converted value.
CONFORMING TO
SVr4, POSIX.1-2001, 4.3BSD, C99. C89 and POSIX.1-1996
include the functions atoi()
and atol() only. atoq() is a GNU extension.
NOTES
The nonstandard atoq()
function is not present in libc 4.6.27 or glibc 2, but is
present in libc5 and libc 4.7 (though only as an inline
function in <stdlib.h>
until libc 5.4.44). The atoll()
function is present in glibc 2 since version 2.0.2, but not
in libc4 or libc5.
