Re: getopt() library function options

[Rechberger Markus <mrechberger@gmail.com>]

Hey,

regarding atoi:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(){
        printf("value: %d\n",atoi("nosegv123"));
        return(0);
}
output:
value: 0

this doesn't segfault


SYNOPSIS
       #include <ctype.h>

       int isalnum(int c);
       int isalpha(int c);
       int isascii(int c);
       int isblank(int c);
       int iscntrl(int c);
       int isdigit(int c);
       int isgraph(int c);
       int islower(int c);
       int isprint(int c);
       int ispunct(int c);
       int isspace(int c);
       int isupper(int c);
       int isxdigit(int c);

ctype only takes one variable as argument _not_ a string, he would
have to check every element of the array with isdigit.
