+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR atoi ()
+function converts the initial portion of the string
+pointed to by \fInptr\fP to
+.IR int .
+The behavior is the same as
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+strtol(nptr, NULL, 10);
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+except that
+.BR atoi ()
+does not detect errors.
+.PP
+The
+.BR atol ()
+and
+.BR atoll ()
+functions behave the same as
+.BR atoi (),
+except that they convert the initial portion of the
+string to their return type of \fIlong\fP or \fIlong long\fP.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The converted value or 0 on error.
+.SH ATTRIBUTES
+For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see

+.SH VERSIONS
+POSIX.1 leaves the return value of
+.BR atoi ()
+on error unspecified.
+On glibc, musl libc, and uClibc, 0 is returned on error.
+.SH STANDARDS
+C11, POSIX.1-2008.
+.SH HISTORY
+C99, POSIX.1-2001, SVr4, 4.3BSD.
+.PP
+C89 and
+POSIX.1-1996 include the functions
+.BR atoi ()
+and
+.BR atol ()
+only.
+.\" .SH NOTES
+.\" Linux libc provided
+.\" .BR atoq ()
+.\" as an obsolete name for
+.\" .BR atoll ();
+.\" .BR atoq ()
+.\" is not provided by glibc.
+.\" The
+.\" .BR atoll ()
+.\" function is present since glibc 2.0.2, but
+.\" not in libc4 or libc5.
+.SH BUGS
+.I errno
+is not set on error so there is no way to distinguish between 0 as an
+error and as the converted value.
+No checks for overflow or underflow are done.
+Only base-10 input can be converted.
+It is recommended to instead use the
+.BR strtol ()
+and
+.BR strtoul ()
+family of functions in new programs.
