LTOA(DOS)                XENIX System V                 LTOA(DOS)



     Name
          ltoa - Converts long integers to characters.

     Syntax
          #include <stdlib.h>

          char *ltoa (value, string, radix);
          long value;
          char *string;
          int radix;

     Description
          The ltoa function converts the digits of the given value to
          a null-terminated character string and stores the result in
          string.  The radix argument specifies the base of value.  It
          must be in the range 2-36.  If radix equals 10 and value is
          negative, the first character of the stored string is the
          minus sign (-).

     Return Value
          ltoa returns a pointer to string.  There is no error return.

     Example
          #include <stdlib.h>

          int radix = 10; char buffer[20]; char *p;

          p = ltoa (-344115L,buffer,radix);  /* p = "-344115" */

     Notes
          The space allocated for string must be large enough to hold
          the returned string.  The function can return up to 33
          bytes.

          This call must be compiled with the -dos flag.
