Store decimal in network format into buffer.

Synopsis

Declared in <bdldfp_decimalconvertutil.h>

static
unsigned char*
decimalToNetwork(
    unsigned char* buffer,
    Decimal32 decimal);

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) in size. Note that these functions always return buffer + sizeof(decimal) on the supported 8‐bits‐byte architectures.

Return Value

address one past the last byte written

Parameters

Name

Description

buffer

receives the network encoding

decimal
