You'll find it in any C manual, or try "man strtol" for the strtol() function.
If all you want is to convert to decimal, use this short C-program:
#include <stdio.h>
void main(int argc, char **argv)
{
while (*++argv) printf("%s == %i\n", *argv, strtol(*argv));
}
It simply prints all arguments as decimal numbers. To use it, save it as
decimal.c Then run "gcc -O2 decimal.c" and "mv a.out decimal"
Possibly also "chmod oug+rx decimal"
You can now use commands like "./decimal 25 0xFF 011" and get
25 == 25
0xFF == 255
011 == 9
The first one was an ordinary number, the other hexadecimal and the third one
octal.
