     L3TOL(S)                  UNIX System V                  L3TOL(S)



     Name
          l3tol, ltol3 - 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
          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(F).

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

     Standards Conformance
          l3tol and ltol3 are conformant with:
          The X/Open Portability Guide II of January 1987.
