.Sh DESCRIPTION |
|
|
|
|
|
The |
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn a64l |
|
|
|
|
|
and |
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn l64a |
|
|
|
|
|
functions are used to maintain numbers stored in radix-64 |
|
|
|
|
|
ASCII characters. This is a notation by which 32-bit integers |
|
|
|
|
|
can be represented by up to six characters; each character |
|
|
|
|
|
represents a "digit" in a radix-64 notation. |
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp |
|
|
|
|
|
The characters used to represent "digits" are '.' for 0, '/' for 1, |
|
|
|
|
|
'0' through '9' for 2-11, 'A' through 'Z' for 12-37, and 'a' through |
|
|
|
|
|
'z' for 38-63. |
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp |
|
|
|
|
|
The |
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn a64l |
|
|
|
|
|
function takes a pointer to a null-terminated radix-64 representation |
|
|
|
|
|
and returns a corresponding 32-bit value. If the string pointed to by |
|
|
|
|
|
.Ar s |
|
|
|
|
|
contains more than six characters, |
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn a64l |
|
|
|
|
|
will use the first six. |
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn A64l |
|
|
|
|
|
scans the character string from left to right, decoding |
|
|
|
|
|
each character as a 6-bit radix-64 number. If a long integer is |
|
|
|
|
|
larger than 32 bits, the return value will be sign-extended. |
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp |
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn l64a |
|
|
|
|
|
takes a long integer argument |
|
|
|
|
|
.Ar l |
|
|
|
|
|
and returns a pointer to the corresponding radix-64 representation. |
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES |
|
|
|
|
|
On success, |
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn a64l |
|
|
|
|
|
returns a 32-bit representation of |
|
|
|
|
|
.Ar s . |
|
|
|
|
|
If |
|
|
|
|
|
.Ar s |
|
|
|
|
|
is a NULL pointer or if it contains "digits" other than those described above, |
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn a64l |
|
|
|
|
|
returns -1L and sets the global variable errno to |
|
|
|
|
|
.Va EINVAL . |
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp |
|
|
|
|
|
On success, |
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn l64a |
|
|
|
|
|
returns a pointer to a string containing the radix-64 representation of |
|
|
|
|
|
.Ar l . |
|
|
|
|
|
If |
|
|
|
|
|
.Ar l |
|
|
|
|
|
is 0, |
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn l64a |
|
|
|
|
|
returns a pointer to the empty string. |
|
|
|
|
|
If |
|
|
|
|
|
.Ar l |
|
|
|
|
|
is negative, |
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn l64a |
|
|
|
|
|
returns a NULL pointer and sets the global variable errno to |
|
|
|
|
|
.Va EINVAL . |
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh WARNINGS |
|
|
|
|
|
The value returned by |
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn l64a |
|
|
|
|
|
is a pointer into a static buffer, the contents of which |
|
|
|
|
|
will be overwritten by subsequent calls. |
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp |
|
|
|
|
|
The value returned by |
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn a64l |
|
|
|
|
|
may be incorrect if the value is too large; for that reason, only strings |
|
|
|
|
|
that resulted from a call to |
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn l64a |
|
|
|
|
|
should be used to call |
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn a64l . |
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp |
|
|
|
|
|
If a long integer is larger than 32 bits, only the low-order |
|
|
|
|
|
32 bits are used. |
