What exactly are you referring to with "hostAP"? Host AP driver, i.e.,
kernel code? Standard C libraries are not generally available in
kernel.. What kind of integer/string conversion do you need in the
kernel? In many cases, I would expect there to be a better way of doing
this and the conversion could be avoided completely.
linux/kernel.h has prototypes for number of related functions
(simple_strto* family for string->int and sprintf for int->string).
