u32_pack(3)
NAME
u32_pack, u32_unpack, u32_pack_big, u32_unpack_big - store/read an u32 into/from a byte array
SYNOPSIS
#include <limb/u32.h>
void u32_pack(void *dst, u32 val) void u32_unpack(u32 *val, const void *sce) void u32_pack_big(void *dst, u32 val) void u32_unpack_big(u32 *val, const void *sce)
DESCRIPTION
All of these aim to either store the given number val
into the specified
byte array dst
, or read a number from the specified byte array sce
and set
the value pointed by val
to its value.
The u32_pack
() function stores the number val
into the 4 bytes pointed by
dst
, encoded as little endian.
The u32_unpack
() function reads 4 bytes pointed by sce
as little endian
encoded number, setting the value pointed by val
to its value.
The u32_pack_big
() function is similar to u32_pack
() only as big endian.
The u32_unpack_big
() function is similar to u32_unpack
() only as big endian.
