l3tol(3C)           (C Programming Language Utilities)            l3tol(3C)


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

   SYNOPSIS
         #include <stdlib.h>

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

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

   DESCRIPTION
         l3tol converts a list of n three-byte integers 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 where the
         block numbers are three bytes long.

   SEE ALSO
         fs(4).

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