Any conflict between the requirements described here and the +ISO\ C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1\(hy2008 defers to the ISO\ C standard. +.P +The call +.IR atoi ( str ) +shall be equivalent to: +.sp +.RS 4 +.nf +\fB +(int) strtol(str, (char **)NULL, 10) +.fi \fR +.P +.RE +.P +except that the handling of errors may differ.

If there +is an argument and the decimal conversion of this argument (obtained +using +\fIatoi\fR()) +is greater than 0, then the program has a valid number of minutes to +wait for an event. +.sp +.RS 4 +.nf +\fB +#include <stdlib.h> +#include <stdio.h> +\&... +int minutes_to_event; +\&... +if (argc < 2 || ((minutes_to_event = atoi (argv[1]))) <= 0) { + fprintf(stderr, "Usage: %s minutes\en", argv[0]); exit(1); +} +\&... +.fi \fR +.P +.RE +.SH "APPLICATION USAGE" +The +\fIatoi\fR() +function is subsumed by +\fIstrtol\fR() +but is retained because it is used extensively in existing code. If the +number is not known to be in range, +\fIstrtol\fR() +should be used because +\fIatoi\fR() +is not required to perform any error checking. +.SH RATIONALE +None. +.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS" +None. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.IR "\fIstrtol\fR\^(\|)" +.P +The Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1\(hy2008, +.IR "\fB<stdlib.h>\fP" +.SH COPYRIGHT +Portions of this text are reprinted and reproduced in electronic form +from IEEE Std 1003.1, 2013 Edition, Standard for Information Technology +-- Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX), The Open Group Base +Specifications Issue 7, Copyright (C) 2013 by the Institute of +Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc and The Open Group. +(This is POSIX.1-2008 with the 2013 Technical Corrigendum 1 applied.)
