Yes, but I wish to know if there are standard "one-to-one" functions.
I read that i.e. itoa is not!

No.

You can see all the functions in the standard C library by reading the
standard; search for "n1124.pdf" to see the latest draft.

NOTE:
(Please don't quote signatures; trim quoted material to what's
necessary for your response to make sense.)

You not only quoted the sig, you left the request asking you not to.

ok I have seen in the n1124 so my question is simply for which reasons
there aren't!
philosophical? technical?

Technical plus historical. Historically, the set evolved over time and not
breaking old code took precedence over "tidying up" the library.

The technical reason is that the set of values that C uses to
represent strings behaves very differently from the set of values it
has to represent numerical quantities. Hence, no real symmetry is
possible.

not important thanks to sprintf and other
solutions?
is not better to make all the possible functions to manage almost
every programming aspect?

No, then you'd get something as awful as C#.

may be, but obviously this is only a my "poor" opinion if a c (or c++)
programmer had more
standard library functions should be more productive (think to Java,
C# and so on).

Ah.
