BITMAP_PARSELIST(9) Basic Kernel Library Functions BITMAP_PARSELIST(9)NAME
bitmap_parselist - convert list format ASCII string to bitmap
SYNOPSIS
int bitmap_parselist(const char * bp, unsigned long * maskp, int nmaskbits);
ARGUMENTS
bp
read nul-terminated user string from this buffer
maskp
write resulting mask here
nmaskbits
number of bits in mask to be written
DESCRIPTION
Input format is a comma-separated list of decimal numbers and ranges. Consecutively set bits are shown as two hyphen-separated decimal
numbers, the smallest and largest bit numbers set in the range.
Returns 0 on success, -errno on invalid input strings.
ERROR VALUES
-EINVAL: second number in range smaller than first -EINVAL: invalid character in string -ERANGE: bit number specified too large for mask

A64L(3) BSD Library Functions Manual A64L(3)NAME
a64l, l64a -- convert between 32-bit integer and radix-64 ASCII string
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h>
long
a64l(const char *s);
char *
l64a(long value);
DESCRIPTION
The a64l() and l64a() functions are used to maintain numbers stored in radix-64 ASCII characters. This is a notation by which 32-bit inte-
gers can be represented 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, '0' through '9' for 2-11, 'A' through 'Z' for 12-37, and 'a' through 'z'
for 38-63.
The a64l() function takes a pointer to a null-terminated radix-64 representation and returns a corresponding 32-bit value. If the string
pointed to by s contains more than six characters, a64l() will use the first six. a64l() scans the character string from left to right,
decoding each character as a 6-bit radix-64 number. If a long integer is larger than 32 bits, the return value will be sign-extended.
l64a() takes a long integer argument value and returns a pointer to the corresponding radix-64 representation.
RETURN VALUES
On success, a64l() returns a 32-bit representation of s. If s is a null pointer or if it contains digits other than those described above.
a64l() returns -1 and sets the global variable errno to EINVAL.
On success, l64a() returns a pointer to a string containing the radix-64 representation of value. If value is 0, l64a() returns a pointer to
the empty string. If value is negative, l64a() returns a null pointer and sets the global variable errno to EINVAL.
WARNINGS
The value returned by l64a() is a pointer into a static buffer, the contents of which will be overwritten by subsequent calls.
The value returned by a64l() may be incorrect if the value is too large; for that reason, only strings that resulted from a call to l64a()
should be used to call a64l().
If a long integer is larger than 32 bits, only the low-order 32 bits are used.
STANDARDS
The a64l() and l64a() functions conform to X/Open Portability Guide Issue 4, Version 2 (``XPG4.2'').

I want to create a new user and grant him ONLY transfer files access to a specific directory where he can only upload and read the files. He should be restricted to this activity only.

Hello for all,
I am testing the behavior of a 32 bit application running on Solaris 5.10 (SPARC), and realize it reaches 4GB of memory and then crashes.
It doesn't matter the amount of used memory as application is intended to perform many transactions; rather, what I want to achieve is to... (2 Replies)
