NAME
a64l, l64a - convert between long and base-64
LIBRARY
Standard C library
(libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h>
long a64l(const char *str64);
char *l64a(long value);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see
feature_test_macros(7)):
a64l(),
l64a():
_XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500
|| /* glibc >= 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
|| /* glibc <= 2.19: */ _SVID_SOURCE
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
a64l()
has length greater than six, only the first six bytes are used.
If the type
long
has more than 32 bits, then
l64a()
uses only the low order 32 bits of
value,
and
a64l()
sign-extends its 32-bit result.
The 64 digits in the base-64 system are:
-
'.' represents a 0
'/' represents a 1
0-9 represent 2-11
A-Z represent 12-37
a-z represent 38-63
So 123 = 59*64ha0 + 1*64ha1 = "v/".
ATTRIBUTES
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
attributes(7).
Interface | Attribute | Value

l64a()

STANDARDS
POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.
NOTES
The value returned by
l64a()
may be a pointer to a static buffer, possibly overwritten
by later calls.
The behavior of
l64a()
is undefined when
value
is negative.
If
value
is zero, it returns an empty string.
These functions are broken before glibc 2.2.5
(puts most significant digit first).
This is not the encoding used by
uuencode(1).
