l3tol(3)
_________________________________________________________________
l3tol, ltol3 Subroutine
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
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).
BUGS
Because of possible differences in byte ordering, the numerical
values of the long integers are machine-dependent.
