l3tol(3C)                                                         l3tol(3C)

NAME
     l3tol, ltol3 - convert numbers between types

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 charac-
     ter 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.

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