  NAME
       integer -- declare an integer variable

  SYNOPSIS
       integer [+Hlprtux] [+LRZ[number]] [variable[=value] ...]

  DESCRIPTION
       integer declares a shell variable to be an integer.  This
       improves the speed with which the variable can be manipulated.
       integer is a built-in alias defined with

          alias integer='typeset -i'

       The options for integer are identical to those for the version of
       typeset that deals with variables.  Invoking integer without any
       arguments displays all integer variables.

       For more information, see typeset(1).

  DIAGNOSTICS
       Possible exit status values are:

       0  Successful completion.

       1  Failure due to an invalid command line argument.

       If the command is used to display the values of variables, the
       exit status value is the number of names that are invalid.

  Messages
       Because this command is an alias for a utility built into the
       MPE/iX Shell, see the sh(1) man page for a complete list of error
       messages that you may receive when using it.

  PORTABILITY
       POSIX.2.  x/OPEN Portability Guide 4.0.

       On UNIX systems, integer is built into the KornShell but not the
       Bourne Shell.

  NOTE
       This is an alias built into the shell.
