46.SH DESCRIPTION
63aa9df0 47The \fBatoi\fP() function converts the initial portion of the string
fea681da
MK
48pointed to by \fInptr\fP to
49.IR int .
50The behaviour is the same as
51.sp
52.RS
b9f02710 53.B strtol(nptr, (char **) NULL, 10);

54.RE

63aa9df0 56except that \fBatoi\fP() does not detect errors.
fea681da 57.PP
63aa9df0
MK
58The \fBatol\fP() and \fBatoll\fP() functions behave the same as
59\fBatoi\fR(), except that they convert the initial portion of the
fea681da 60string to their return type of \fIlong\fP or \fIlong long\fP.
63aa9df0 61\fBatoq\fP() is an obsolete name for \fBatoll\fP().

65SVr4, POSIX.1-2001, 4.3BSD, C99.
66C89 and

fea681da 70.SH NOTES
63aa9df0 71The non-standard \fBatoq\fP() function is not present in libc 4.6.27
fea681da
MK
72or glibc 2, but is present in libc5 and libc 4.7 (though only as an
73inline function in \fB<stdlib.h>\fP until libc 5.4.44). The
63aa9df0 74\fBatoll\fP() function is present in glibc 2 since version 2.0.2, but
fea681da

75not in libc4 or libc5.
