NAME
flongtoa - format LONG to ASCIISYNOPSIS
#includeint flongtoa (l, format, dest, len) LONG l; char *format; char *dest; int len; DESCRIPTION
Flongtoa converts the LONG value l to its ASCII string representation with format, storing the result in dest: a string of len bytes. The number of bytes used in the formatted result is returned. The parameter passed to flongtoa must be a long integer (long). This is not necessarily the same as just integer (int). To make sure the correct value type is passed, the parameter should always be cast as a long: rc = flongtoa ((long) counts, fmt, dest, sizeof (dest));SEE ALSO
