NAME

       fmt_8long - write an octal ASCII representation of an unsigned long integer

SYNTAX

       #include <fmt.h>

       size_t fmt_8long(char *dest,size_t source);

DESCRIPTION

       fmt_8long  writes  an  ASCII  representation  ('0'  to  '7', base 8) of source to dest and
       returns the number of bytes written.

       fmt_8long does not append \0.

       If dest equals FMT_LEN (i.e. is zero), fmt_8long returns the number of bytes it would have
       written.

       For  convenience,  fmt.h  defines  the integer FMT_8LONG to be big enough to contain every
       possible fmt_8long output plus \0.
