     Name
          ltoa - Converts a long integer to a string.

     Syntax
          #include <stdlib.h>

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

     Description
          The ltoa function converts the digits of value to a null-
          terminated character string and stores the result (up to 33
          bytes) 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
          The ltoa function returns a pointer to string. There is no
          error return.

     Example
          #include <stdlib.h>

          int radix = 10; char buffer[20]; char *p; main() {
                  /* p = "-344115" */
                  p = ltoa(-344115L,buffer,radix);
                  printf( "Buffer= \%s\\n", buffer ); }

          This program displays the long integer -344,115 as a base-10
          string.
