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.

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.

We have quite a few threads about this subject. I have collected some of them and arranged them by the OS which is primarily discussed in the thread. That is because the exact procedure depends on the OS involved. What's more, since you often need to interact with the boot process, the... (0 Replies)
I'm writing a command shell, and I want to be able to detect when the user presses an arrow key (otherwise it just prints [[A, [[B, etc.). I know it's relatively easy (although somewhat more time-consuming) to detect keystrokes in noncanonical mode, but I've noticed that the bash shell detects... (4 Replies)
I'm learning off Linux (Ubuntu) right now. I want to move up to Unix, but I don't want to rush like I did when it came to Windows --> to Linux. What is the best Unix OS that fits in pretty well with Ubuntu.
In other words is there kind of an equal Linux with Unix?
Also what do I need to... (10 Replies)
I noticed my hostname is <my-full-name>s-macbook.local. I'm not sure exactly what information leaves the local network, and whether the hostname is included, but if it is, this would mean people on the Internet can look at my hostname and see who I am.
