Converts base-64 long integers to strings.
Thread-Safe C Library (libc_r.a)
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:
Character | Description |
---|---|
. | Represents 0. |
/ | Represents 1. |
0 -9 | Represents the numbers 2-11. |
A-Z | Represents the numbers 12-37. |
a-z | Represents the numbers 38-63. |
The l64a_r subroutine places the converted base-64 string in the buffer pointed to by the Buffer parameter.
Item | Description |
---|---|
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. |
Item | Description |
---|---|
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:
Item | Description |
---|---|
EINVAL | The Buffer parameter value is invalid or too small to hold the resulting ASCII string. |
