_leb128_unsigned_encode64(3E)

NAME
     _leb128_unsigned_encode64: _leb128_signed_encode64:
     _leb128_unsigned_encode32: _leb128_signed_encode32: - encode leb128
     integers

SYNOPSIS
     #include <cmplrs/leb128.h>

     int _leb128_unsigned_encode64(__uint64_t number, char* buffer);

     int _leb128_signed_encode64(__int64_t number, char* buffer);

     int _leb128_unsigned_encode32(__uint32_t number, char* buffer);

     int _leb128_signed_encode32(__int32_t number, char* buffer);

DESCRIPTION
     These routines encode integers into the leb128 format.  The leb128 format
     is a variable-length encoding extensively used in the DWARF debugging
     information format and is described in the DWARF documentation.

     The encoded number is placed into buffer and the number of bytes of
     buffer used to encode the number is returned.

     Link with the option -lelfutil to link in these routines.

     The arguments are as follows:

     number
          is the input number to be converted to leb128 format.

     buffer  is a buffer provided by the caller.  The pointed-at-buffer must
             be at least 5 bytes long for the 64-bit input integers and at
             least 10 bytes long for the 32 bit input integers.  No buffer
             overrun checking is possible in these routines so the caller must
             provide the required buffer space.

DIAGNOSTICS
     Returns the number of bytes used to encode the number.  The returned
     value will be in the range 1 to 5 for the 32-bit number input versions.
     The returned value will be in the range 1 to 10 for the 64-bit number
     input versions.
