Converting an int to a 2 byte hex value in C

Question

I need to convert an int to a 2 byte hex value to store in a char array, in C. How can I do this?

Using Vicky's answer above

typedef unsigned    long    ulong;
typedef unsigned    char    uchar;

#define TO_HEX(i)   (i <= 9 ? '0' + i : 'A' - 10 + i)
#define max_strhex  (sizeof(ulong)*2)

public uchar
*mStrhex(uchar *p, ulong w, ulong n)
{
    ulong i = 0xF;                                  // index
    ulong mask  = i << (((sizeof(ulong)*2)-1)*4);   // max mask (32 bit ulong mask = 0xF0000000, 16 bit ulong mask = 0xF000)
    ulong shift = (w*4);                            // set up shift to isolate the highest nibble
    if(!w || w > max_strhex)                        // no bold params
        return p;                                   // do nothing for the rebel
    mask  = mask >> (max_strhex-w)*4;               // setup mask to extract hex nibbles
    for(i = 0; i < w; i++){                         // loop and add w nibbles
        shift = shift - 4;                          // hint: start mask for four bit hex is 0xF000, shift is 32, mask >> 32 is 0x0000, mask >> 28 is 0x000F.
        *p++ = TO_HEX(((n & mask) >> shift));       // isolate digit and make hex
        mask = mask >> 4;                           //
        *p = '\0';                                  // be nice to silly people
    }                                               //
    return p;                                       // point to null, allow concatenation
