Hi,
when fixing transmission to build on Haiku, the GCI student renamed a
local atoui() function to avoid a name clash:

https://bitbucket.org/haikuports/haikuports/pull-request/89/transmission-282-recipe-and-patch/diff#Lnet-p2p/transmission/patches/transmission-2.82.patchT70

It seems atoui() is nowhere specified, I can't find it on opengroup, nor
in Linux, nor even in the ZETA headers I have.

It's not used at all in our own code, there is really few chances it
could have been used already in external code...

I think we should remove it, no need to pollute the global namespace
with this.

François.
