NAME

astoi() - converts ASCII to integer

SYNOPSIS

#include <schily/schily.h>

char *astoi(string,result)
	char *string; /* the string to convert */
	int *result; /* where to store the result */

DESCRIPTION

astoi() converts the characters pointed to by string to an integer stored at result. It returns a pointer to the first character in the string that was not used for the conversion. If the entire string is to be used, it should point to a NULL character ('\0'). Leading spaces and tabs are skipped.

The ASCII string accepts a leading `+' or `-'. A leading zero in the string makes the number octal, while a leading 0x makes the number hexadecimal. Leading spaces and tabs are skipped.

RETURNS

Returns a pointer to the first unused character.

EXAMPLES

if (*astoi(string, &i) != '\0')
	error("Not a number %s\n", string);
