.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
These functions provide a conversion between 32-bit long integers
|
|
|
|
|
and little-endian base-64 ASCII strings (of length zero to six).
|
|
|
|
|
If the string used as argument for
|
|
|
|
|
.BR a64l ()
|
|
|
|
|
has length greater than six, only the first six bytes are used.
|
2007-06-25 10:03:10 +00:00
|
|
|
If the type
|
|
|
|
|
.I long
|
|
|
|
|
has more than 32 bits, then
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
.BR l64a ()
|
|
|
|
|
uses only the low order 32 bits of
|
|
|
|
|
.IR value ,
|
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
|
.BR a64l ()
|
|
|
|
|
sign-extends its 32-bit result.

The value returned by

|
|
|

|
may be a pointer to a static buffer, possibly overwritten
