This crate provides fast functions for printing integer primitives to an
[`io::Write`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/io/trait.Write.html) or a
[`fmt::Write`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/core/fmt/trait.Write.html). The
implementation comes straight from
[libcore](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/b8214dc6c6fc20d0a660fb5700dca9ebf51ebe89/src/libcore/fmt/num.rs#L201-L254)
but avoids the performance penalty of going through
[`fmt::Formatter`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/fmt/struct.Formatter.html).

## Functions
## Examples
```rust
extern crate itoa;
use std::{fmt, io};
// write to a vector or other io::Write
fn demo_itoa_write() -> io::Result<()> {
// Write to a vector or other io::Write.
let mut buf = Vec::new();
itoa::write(&mut buf, 128u64)?;
println!("{:?}", buf);
// write to a stack buffer
let mut bytes = [b'\0'; 20];
// Write to a stack buffer.
let mut bytes = [0u8; 20];
let n = itoa::write(&mut bytes[..], 128u64)?;
println!("{:?}", &bytes[..n]);
// write to a String
Ok(())
}
fn demo_itoa_fmt() -> fmt::Result {
// Write to a string.
let mut s = String::new();
itoa::fmt(&mut s, 128u64)?;
println!("{}", s);
Ok(())
}

The `write` function is only available when the `std` feature is enabled
(default is enabled).
