strtok is defined in lib/string.c.

atoi is defined in arch/ia64/sn/io/sgi_if.c.

Since the atoi is defined in an arch-specific file, you get to include
your own copy. When there are four of them, someone will complain and
consolidate them a bit, similar to zlib. :)

If you intend to be looking for functions often, I highly recommend the
help of either ctags or cscope. :)
