NAME
       bitmap_scnlistprintf - convert bitmap to list format ASCII string

SYNOPSIS
       int bitmap_scnlistprintf(char * buf, unsigned int buflen, const unsigned long * maskp, int nmaskbits);

ARGUMENTS
       buf
	   byte buffer into which string is placed

       buflen
	   reserved size of buf, in bytes

       maskp
	   pointer to bitmap to convert

       nmaskbits
	   size of bitmap, in bits

DESCRIPTION
       Output 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. Output format is compatible with the format accepted as input by
       bitmap_parselist.

       The return value is the number of characters which would be generated for the given input, excluding the trailing '', as per ISO C99.
