+.SH NAME
+a64l, l64a \- convert between long integer and base-64 ASCII string
+.SH SYNOPSIS

+.nf
+#include <stdlib.h>

+\fBlong\fR \fBa64l\fR(\fBconst char *\fR\fIs\fR);

+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.sp
+.LP
+These functions maintain numbers stored in base-64 \fBASCII\fR characters that
+define a notation by which long integers can be represented by up to six
+characters. Each character represents a "digit" in a radix-64 notation.
+.sp
+.LP
+The characters used to represent "digits" are as follows:

+.sp
+.LP
+The \fBa64l()\fR function takes a pointer to a null-terminated base-64
+representation and returns a corresponding \fBlong\fR value.  If the string
+pointed to by \fIs\fR contains more than six characters, \fBa64l()\fR uses the
+first six.
+.sp
+.LP
+The \fBa64l()\fR function scans the character string from left to right with
+the least significant digit on the left, decoding each character as a 6-bit
+radix-64 number.
+.sp
+.LP
+The \fBl64a()\fR function takes a \fBlong\fR argument and returns a pointer to
+the corresponding base-64 representation. If the argument is 0, \fBl64a()\fR
+returns a pointer to a null string.
+.sp
+.LP
+The value returned by \fBl64a()\fR is a pointer into a static buffer, the
+contents of which are overwritten by each call.  In the case of multithreaded
+applications, the return value is a pointer to thread specific data.
