l3tol(3C)                                                  l3tol(3C)


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

       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
             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.

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