sendtoint

sendtoint is a generic function name encountered in various software projects. It is not a standard language feature but a convention used by libraries and applications to indicate an operation that produces or transmits data in integer form.

As a conversion utility, sendtoint takes an input value and returns an integer. Common inputs include strings containing decimal numbers, booleans, floating point numbers, or other numeric types. The function may accept an optional base or radix parameter to support conversion from different numeral systems, and may provide a default value or raise an error when conversion is not possible.

In message passing or data queuing contexts, sendtoint can act as a wrapper that sends an integer payload to a target channel, endpoint, or receiver. In this usage, the function enforces that the data sent is an integer, performing coercion or validation as needed, and returning a status or error.

Implementation notes include handling overflow, sign, locale-dependent parsing, and representation. Attention is often given to deterministic behavior across platforms and clear error reporting.

Related concepts include parseInt functions, toInt coercions, and generic send or enqueue APIs used in event-driven architectures.
