Well, ok, you're right ;-) The prototype above was from the MSVC++6.0 help docs,
and <prefix>\include\stdlib.h in that system contains the line

_CRTIMP char * __cdecl _itoa(int, char *, int);

but I see that grep -r itoa /usr/include/* comes up with nothing (in slackware Linux).

I guess "Integer to Binary string" in the subject was what made me look for something
different than "Binary Integer to string." Only the OP knows for sure ;-)
