NAME
l3tol, ltol3 − convert between 3-byte integers and long integers
SYNTAX
void l3tol(lp, cp, n)
long *lp;
char *cp;
int n;
void ltol3(cp, lp, n)
char *cp;
long *lp;
int n;
DESCRIPTION
The 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.
The ltol3 performs the reverse conversion from long integers lp to three-byte integers cp.
These functions are useful for file-system maintenance; disk addresses are three bytes long.
