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.
