l3tol(3C)                                               l3tol(3C)



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

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

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

     DESCRIPTION
          l3tol converts a list of n 3-byte integers (packed into a
          character string pointed to by cp) into a list of long in-
          tegers pointed to by lp.

          ltol3 performs the reverse conversion from long integers
          (lp) to 3-byte integers (cp).

          These functions are useful for file system maintenance where
          the block numbers are 3 bytes long.

     SEE ALSO
          fs(4).

     BUGS
          Because of possible differences in byte ordering, the numer-
          ical values of the long integers are machine-dependent.
