l3tol(3)						     Library Functions Manual							  l3tol(3)

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  subroutine	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.

       The 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.

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

NAME
ltostr(), ultostr(), ltoa(), ultoa() - convert long integers to strings SYNOPSIS
Obsolescent Interfaces DESCRIPTION
Convert a signed long integer to the corresponding string representation in the specified base. The argument base must be between 2 and 36, inclusive. Convert an unsigned long integer to the corresponding string representation in the specified base. The argument base must be between 2 and 36, inclusive. Convert a signed long integer to the corresponding base 10 string representation, returning a pointer to the result. Convert an unsigned long integer to the corresponding base 10 string representation, returning a pointer to the result. These functions are smaller and faster than using for simple conversions (see printf(3S)). Obsolescent Interfaces convert long integers to strings. ERRORS
If the value of base is not between 2 and 36, and return NULL and set the external variable to ERANGE. WARNINGS
The return values for and point to data whose content is overwritten by subsequent calls to these functions by the same thread. and are obsolescent interface supported only for compatibility with existing DCE applications. New multi-threaded applications should use and AUTHOR
