I have searched the documentation for a good while and not been able to find the answer to the above.
Makes one wonder what documentation you searched. The Keil Cx51 manual could hardly be any clearer on the issue: "... and stores the resulting string in buffer."
Makes one wonder what documentation you searched I clicked and clicked at the Keil site, the search gave a lot of useless hits
But the Keil MDK-ARM online documentation could hadly be any more impenetrable!
Once you find it, the content is OK - but trying to find stuff is a complete nightmare!
Yes, it does take a bit of time to learn how to use the Keil web site. And to know when it shouldn't be used because the required information has to be fetched from another ARM site.
Ah, that might be the difference --- as you'll note, I was looking in the C51 docs.
But then again, that's a fundamental feature of a C Standard Library function Erik was looking for, so it shouldn't matter which compiler's documentation you look it up in. That much has to be the same everywhere.
so it shouldn't matter which compiler's documentation you look it up in.
sure, but if you drove an Audi, would you look up the conversion kpH/MpH in a Mercedes manual it shouldn't matter which.

If the mercedes manual just so happens to be at hand, and the Audi one isn't: absolutely!
Audi? Mercedes?
Do all software developers apart from me earn enough to drive in such luxurious modes of transport? I'm stuck with my jalopy!
I guessed Hans-Bernhard is German :)
In Germant Audi and Mercedes (the smaller ones) are not "Cadillacs" but "Buicks"
