l3tol(3C)

NAME
     l3tol, ltol3 - convert between 3-byte integers and long integers

SYNOPSIS
     #include <stdlib.h>

     void l3tol (long *lp, const char *cp, int n);

     void ltol3 (char *cp, const long *lp, int n);

DESCRIPTION
     l3tol 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.

     ltol3 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.

SEE ALSO
     fs(4).

NOTES
     Because of possible differences in byte ordering, the numerical values of
     the long integers are machine-dependent.
