Synopsis:
    #include <stdlib.h>
    char *itoa( int value, char *buffer, int radix );
    char *_itoa( int value, char *buffer, int radix );
    wchar_t *_itow( int value, wchar_t *buffer,
                    int radix );

Description:
    The itoa function converts the binary integer value into the equivalent
    string in base radix notation storing the result in the character array
    pointed to by buffer.  A null character is appended to the result.  The
    size of buffer must be at least (8 * sizeof(int) + 1) bytes when
    converting values in base 2.  That makes the size 17 bytes on 16-bit
    machines, and 33 bytes on 32-bit machines.  The value of radix must
    satisfy the condition:


         2 <= radix <= 36

    If radix is 10 and value is negative, then a minus sign is prepended to
    the result.

    The _itoa function is identical to itoa.  Use _itoa for ANSI/ISO naming
    conventions.

    The _itow function is identical to itoa except that it produces a
    wide-character string (which is twice as long).

Returns:
    The itoa function returns the pointer to the result.

Example:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>

    void main()
      {
        char buffer[20];
        int base;

        for( base = 2; base <= 16; base = base + 2 )
          printf( "%2d %s\n", base,
                  itoa( 12765, buffer, base ) );
      }

    produces the following:

     2 11000111011101
     4 3013131
     6 135033
     8 30735
    10 12765
    12 7479
