Parameters

---

[in] value

Number to be converted.

[out] buffer

Filled with the result of the conversion.

[in] sizeInCharacters

Size of the buffer in single-byte characters or wide characters.

[in] radix

value; which must be in the range 2–36.

 

Return Value

---

Parameter Validation.

Error Conditions

value	buffer	sizeInCharacters	radix	Return
any	NULL	any	any	EINVAL
any	any	<=0	any	EINVAL
any	any	<= length of the result string required	any	EINVAL
any	any	any	radix > 36	EINVAL

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Security Issues

NULL, or if the length of the buffer is not long enough to hold the result string.

 

Remarks

---

_itoa_s functions have the same behavior as the corresponding less secure versions.

Secure Template Overloads.

_CrtSetDebugFillThreshold.
