            Bug ID: 241254
           Summary: atoi(3) wrongly states that atoi() is equivalent to
                    (int)strtol(nptr, (char **)NULL, 10);
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Manual Pages
          Assignee: bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: yuri at freebsd.org
                CC: doc at FreeBSD.org

strtol(3) parses the string as 'long' and long is 64-bit on amd64, and int is
32-bit, so they can't be equivalent.

> DESCRIPTION
>      The atoi() function converts the initial portion of the string pointed to
>      by nptr to int representation.
> 
>      It is equivalent to:
> 
>            (int)strtol(nptr, (char **)NULL, 10);
> 
>      The atoi() function has been deprecated by strtol() and should not be
>      used in new code.
