l64a

a64l(3C)																  a64l(3C)

NAME

       a64l(), l64a() - convert between long integer and base-64 ASCII string

SYNOPSIS

   Obsolescent Interface
DESCRIPTION

       These  functions  are used to maintain numbers stored in base-64 ASCII characters.  This is a notation by which long integers can be repre-
       sented by up to six characters; each character represents a "digit" in a radix-64 notation.

       The characters used to represent "digits" are for 0, for 1, through for 2-11, through for 12-37, and through for 38-63.

       The leftmost character is the least significant digit.  For example,
		      a0 = (38 x 64^0) + (2 x 64^1) = 166

       takes a pointer to a null-terminated base-64 representation and returns a corresponding value.  If the string pointed to by s contains more
       than six characters, uses the first six.

       takes  a  argument  and	returns  a pointer to the corresponding base-64 representation.  If the argument is 0, returns a pointer to a null
       string.

   Obsolescent Interface
       converts between long integer and base-64 ASCII string.

WARNINGS

       The value returned by is a pointer into a buffer, the contents of which are overwritten subsequent calls by the same thread.

       is an obsolescent interface supported only for compatibility with existing DCE applications. New multithreaded applications should use
