NAME

6       atoi, atol, atoll, atoq - convert a string to an integer
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <stdlib.h>
10
11       int atoi(const char *nptr);
12       long atol(const char *nptr);
13       long long atoll(const char *nptr);
14       long long atoq(const char *nptr);
15
16   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
17
18       atoll(): _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600 ||
19       _ISOC99_SOURCE; or cc -std=c99
20

DESCRIPTION

22       The atoi() function converts the initial portion of the string  pointed
23       to by nptr to int.  The behavior is the same as
24
25           strtol(nptr, (char **) NULL, 10);
26
27       except that atoi() does not detect errors.
28
29       The atol() and atoll() functions behave the same as atoi(), except that
30       they convert the initial portion of the string to their return type  of
31       long or long long.  atoq() is an obsolete name for atoll().
32

RETURN VALUE

34       The converted value.
35

CONFORMING TO

37       SVr4,  POSIX.1-2001,  4.3BSD,  C99.   C89  and POSIX.1-1996 include the
38       functions atoi() and atol() only.  atoq() is a GNU extension.
39

NOTES

41       The non-standard atoq() function is not present in libc 4.6.27 or glibc
42       2, but is present in libc5 and libc 4.7 (though only as an inline func‐
43       tion in <stdlib.h> until libc 5.4.44).  The atoll() function is present
44       in glibc 2 since version 2.0.2, but not in libc4 or libc5.
