@node itoa, string
@subheading Syntax

@example
#include <stdlib.h>

char * itoa(int value, char *string, int radix)
@end example

@subheading Description

This function converts its argument @var{value} into a null-terminated
character string using @var{radix} as the base of the number system.  The
resulting string with a length of upto 33 bytes (including the optional
sign and the terminating @code{NULL} is put into the buffer whose address
is given by @var{string}.  For radixes other than 10, @var{value} is
treated as an unsigned int (i.e., the sign bit is not interpreted as
such).  The argument @var{radix} should specify the base, between 2 and
36, in which the string reprsentation of @var{value} is requested.

@subheading Return Value

A pointer to @var{string}.

@subheading Example

@example
char binary_str[33];

(void)itoa(num, binary_str, 2);
@end example
