NAME

u64_pack, u64_unpack, u64_pack_big, u64_unpack_big - store/read an u64 into/from a byte array

SYNOPSIS

#include <limb/u64.h>

void u64_pack(void *dst, u64 val)
void u64_unpack(u64 *val, const void *sce)

void u64_pack_big(void *dst, u64 val)
void u64_unpack_big(u64 *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 u64_pack() function stores the number val into the 8 bytes pointed by dst, encoded as little endian.

The u64_unpack() function reads 8 bytes pointed by sce as little endian encoded number, setting the value pointed by val to its value.

The u64_pack_big() function is similar to u64_pack() only as big endian.

The u64_unpack_big() function is similar to u64_unpack() only as big endian.
