@(#)l3tol.3 4.1 (Berkeley) 05/15/85

.AT 3 l3tol, ltol3 - convert between 3-byte integers and long integers

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

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

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 i-numbers are three bytes long.
