    L3TOL(3)	    UNIX Programmer's Manual		 L3TOL(3)

    NAME
         l3tol, ltol3 - convert between 3-byte and long integers
         (2BSD)

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

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

    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 inverse conversion from long integers
         (lp) to three-byte integers (cp).

         These functions are useful for file-system maintenance under
         2BSD where disk addresses within inodes are three bytes
         long.

    SEE ALSO
         fs(5)

    BUGS
         l3tol and ltol3 are unique to the PDP-11 and 2BSD; their use
         is discouraged.
