sputl(3x)
_________________________________________________________________
sputl, sgetl Subroutine
access long integer data in a machine-independent fashion
_________________________________________________________________
SYNTAX
void sputl (value, buffer)
long value;
char *buffer;
long sgetl (buffer)
char *buffer;
DESCRIPTION
Sputl takes the four bytes of the long integer value and places
them in memory starting at the address pointed to by buffer. The
ordering of the bytes is the same across all machines.
Sgetl retrieves the four bytes in memory starting at the address
pointed to by buffer and returns the long integer value in the
byte ordering of the host machine.
The combination of sputl and sgetl provides a machine-independent
way of storing long numeric data in a file in binary form without
conversion to characters.
A program that uses these functions must be loaded with the
object-file access routine library libld.a.
