l64a_r Subroutine

Converts base-64 long integers to strings.

Thread-Safe C Library (libc_r.a)

#include <stdlib.h>

int l64a_r (Convert, Buffer, Length) long Convert; char * Buffer; int Length;

The l64a_r subroutine converts a given long integer into a base-64 string.

Programs using this subroutine must link to the libpthreads.a library.

For base-64 characters, the following ASCII characters are used:

The l64a_r subroutine places the converted base-64 string in the buffer pointed to by the Buffer parameter.

Convert	Specifies the long integer that is to be converted into a base-64 ASCII string.
Buffer	Specifies a working buffer to hold the converted long integer.
Length	Specifies the length of the Buffer parameter.

0	Indicates that the subroutine was successful.
-1	Indicates that the subroutine was not successful. If the l64a_r subroutine is not successful, the errno global variable is set to indicate the error.

If the l64a_r subroutine is not successful, it returns the following error code:

EINVAL

The Buffer parameter value is invalid or too small to hold the resulting ASCII string.
