ATOI(3)                   Linux Programmer's Manual                  ATOI(3)

NAME         top

       atoi, atol, atoll - convert a string to an integer

SYNOPSIS         top

       #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         top

       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         top

       The converted value.

CONFORMING TO         top

       POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008, C99, SVr4, 4.3BSD.  C89 and POSIX.1-1996
       include the functions atoi() and atol() only.

NOTES         top

       Linux libc provided atoq() as an obsolete name for atoll(); atoq() is
       not provided by glibc.
