It's in the FAQ too.  Search on 'C prototype'.  There isn't any
canonical 'C to RPG data type conversion table;' you'd have to study
the C Reference and RPG Reference and do the comparisons yourself
(which is what Barbara did for us!)

The caveat is that these prototype conversions only hold for iSeries C
and iSeries RPG.  If you are looking at some Unix C prototype, the
actual number of bytes occupied by int might be different.  This comes
into play when taking C code off the web and porting it to iSeries to
be used in a service program by RPG-ers.  Guess how I came to know
that tidbit!
