May I assume that the string returned by itoa() is null terminated? The Manual is silent on this point:
Description
The function itoa converts the contents of val into a string which is stored into buf. The conversion
is performed according to the radix specified in base. buf is assumed to reference a buffer which has
sufficent space allocated to it.

I believe you can. A string, by definition, is NUL-terminated. That is, if an array of chars is not NUL-terminated, then it is not a string.

Yes, itoa() does null terminate. However itoa() is a non-standard function, and we recommend using sprintf() instead.
