l3tol(3C)							     l3tol(3C)

NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

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

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     #include <stdlib.h>

     void l3tol	(long *lp, const char *cp, int n);

     void ltol3	(char *cp, const long *lp, int n);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     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 threebyte
 integers (cp).

     These functions are useful	for file-system	maintenance where the block
     numbers are three bytes long.

SEE ALSO    [Toc]    [Back]

     fs(4).

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

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