Store into decimal the value decoded from network format at buffer.
Synopsis
Declared in <bdldfp_decimalconvertutil.h>
static
unsigned char const*
decimalFromNetwork(
Decimal32* decimal,
unsigned char const* buffer);Description
The network format is defined as big endian byte order and densely packed base‐10 significand encoding. This corresponds to the way IBM hardware represents these numbers in memory. The behavior is undefined unless buffer points to a memory area at least sizeof(*decimal) bytes. Note that these functions always return buffer + sizeof(*decimal) on the supported 8‐bits‐byte architectures.
Return Value
address one past the last byte read
