SDL_ltoa(3)

SDL_ltoa3

Convert a long integer into a string.

Usage

#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

char * SDL_ltoa(long value, char *str, int radix);

Header file

Defined in SDL3/SDL_stdinc.h

Overview

This requires a radix to specified for string format. Specifying 10 produces a decimal number, 16 hexidecimal, etc. Must be in the range of 2 to 36.

Note that this function will overflow a buffer if str is not large enough to hold the output! It may be safer to use SDL_snprintf
to clamp output, or SDL_asprintf
to allocate a buffer. Otherwise, it doesn't hurt to allocate much more space than you expect to use (and don't forget possible negative signs, null terminator bytes, etc).

Function parameters

value

the long integer to convert.

str

Thread safety
