NAME

       fmt_long - write an ASCII representation of a long integer

SYNTAX

       #include <fmt.h>

       size_t fmt_long(char *dest,long source);

DESCRIPTION

       fmt_long  writes  an  ASCII representation ('-' and '0' to '9', base 10) of source to dest
       and returns the number of bytes written.

       fmt_long does not append \0.

       If dest equals FMT_LEN (i.e. is zero), fmt_long returns the number of bytes it would  have
       written.

       For  convenience,  fmt.h  defines  the  integer FMT_LONG to be big enough to contain every
       possible fmt_long output plus \0.
