Want to Convert Integer to String without itoa function

i want to convert int to char* in C without using itoa() function.

Because on my Linux Systems i itoa function is not there. i am using this code which i found from here

I want to run this function on Embedded devices also which are using Linux.

So i am looking for without use of itoa.

I dnt want to use sprintf also because its uses for just prints.

So any body please help me to figured out this problem.

Thanks

I found solution regarding this..

I am Happy to and i want which i expected.

#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

char *i_to_a(int num);

int main()
{

    char *str = i_to_a(4567);
    printf("%s",str);
    free(str);
    str = NULL;
return 0;

}
int no_of_digits(int num)
{
    int digit_count = 0;

    while(num > 0)
    {
        digit_count++;
        num /= 10;
    }

    return digit_count;
}


char *i_to_a(int num)
{
    char *str;
    int digit_count = 0;

    if(num < 0)
    {
        num = -1*num;
        digit_count++;
    }

    digit_count += no_of_digits(num);   
    str = malloc(sizeof(char)*(digit_count+1));

    str[digit_count] = '\0';

    while(num > 0)
    {
        str[digit_count-1] = num%10 + '0';
        num = num/10;
        digit_count--;
    }

    if(digit_count == 1)
        str[0] = '-';

    return str;
}
