L3TOL(3C-SVR4)      RISC/os Reference Manual       L3TOL(3C-SVR4)



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.
