l3tol(3C)               LIBRARY FUNCTIONS               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.

SEE ALSO
     fs(4).

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