L3TOL(3C)            INTERACTIVE UNIX System            L3TOL(3C)



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

          SYNOPSIS
               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 function 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).

          CAVEAT
               Because of possible differences in byte ordering, the numer-
               ical values of the long integers are machine-dependent.
