L3TOL(3C)       DOMAIN/IX Reference Manual (SYS5)       L3TOL(3C)



NAME
     l3tol, ltol3 - convert between 3-byte integers and long
     integers

USAGE
     void l3tol (lp, cp, n)
     long *lp;
     char *cp;
     int n;

     void ltol3 (cp, lp, n)
     char *cp;
     long *lp;
     int n;

DESCRIPTION
     L3tol converts a list of n three-byte integers that have
     been packed into a character string pointed to by cp, into a
     list of long integers pointed to by lp.

     Ltol3 performs the reverse conversion from long integers
     (lp) to three-byte integers (cp).

     These functions are useful for file-system maintenance on
     systems where the block numbers are three bytes long.

NOTES
     Because of possible differences in byte ordering, the numer-
     ical values of the long integers are machine-dependent.
