Man page for a64l(3) and l64a(3), based on a64l.3 from the MiNT docs 0.1.

Also make a64l(3) and l64a(3) deal reasonably with inapropriate
input.  The standard does not require this, but it does not disallow
it either.

+.Sh NAME
+.Nm a64l ,
+.Nm l64a
+.Nd convert between 32-bit integer and radix-64 ASCII string
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <stdlib.h>
+.Ft long
+.Fn a64l "const char *s"
+.Ft char *
+.Fn l64a "long l"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn a64l
+and
+.Fn l64a
+functions are used to maintain numbers stored in radix-64
+ASCII characters.  This is a notation by which 32-bit integers
+can be represented by up to six characters; each character
+represents a "digit" in a radix-64 notation.
+.Pp
+The characters used to represent "digits" are '.' for 0, '/' for 1,
+'0' through '9' for 2-11, 'A' through 'Z' for 12-37, and 'a' through
+'z' for 38-63.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn a64l
+function takes a pointer to a null-terminated radix-64 representation
+and returns a corresponding 32-bit value.  If the string pointed to by
+.Ar s
+contains more than six characters,
+.Fn a64l
+will use the first six.
+.Fn A64l
+scans the character string from left to right, decoding
+each character as a 6-bit radix-64 number.  If a long integer is
+larger than 32 bits, the return value will be sign-extended.
+.Pp
+.Fn l64a
+takes a long integer argument
+.Ar l
+and returns a pointer to the corresponding radix-64 representation.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+On success,
+.Fn a64l
+returns a 32-bit representation of
+.Ar s .
+If
+.Ar s
+is a NULL pointer or if it contains "digits" other than those described above,
+.Fn a64l
+returns -1L and sets the global variable errno to
+.Va EINVAL .
+.Pp
+On success,
+.Fn l64a
+returns a pointer to a string containing the radix-64 representation of
+.Ar l .
+If
+.Ar l
+is 0,
+.Fn l64a
+returns a pointer to the empty string.
+If
+.Ar l
+is negative,
+.Fn l64a
+returns a NULL pointer and sets the global variable errno to
+.Va EINVAL .
+.Sh WARNINGS
+The value returned by
+.Fn l64a
+is a pointer into a static buffer, the contents of which
+will be overwritten by subsequent calls.
+.Pp
+The value returned by
+.Fn a64l
+may be incorrect if the value is too large; for that reason, only strings
+that resulted from a call to
+.Fn l64a
+should be used to call
+.Fn a64l .
+.Pp
+If a long integer is larger than 32 bits, only the low-order
+32 bits are used.
+.Sh STANDARDS
+The
+.Fn a64l                                                           
+and
+.Fn l64a
+functions conform to
+.St -xpg4.2 .
