Well strtol is often better then atoi - it has more sanity checking and
you can take advantage of multiple bases easier (setting base '0' is a
good idea).

There is no itoa for the simple reason that would have to allocate a
varaible amount of memory - not in the style of C standard libraries.  I
suggest you have a look at the various glib functions for operating on
strings - in particular the g_*_sprinf functions, as well as the C
standard library version - sprintf (which can be unsafe is used
unwisely).
