netutil.from-net32

function

Library: Network utilities (OMNETUTIL)
Import : omnetutl.xmd

Returns: An integer value.


Declaration 
export integer function 
   from-net32 value string n

Argument definitions

n
a sequence of bytes or octets that encode a 32-bit number


Purpose

Use netutil.from-net32 to convert a network-ordered binary number into an integer.

Example

The following program reads and outputs a sequence of network-ordered numbers from a file. (The file is created in the example program for netutil.to-net32.) 

  import "omnetutil.xmd" prefixed by netutil.
  
  process
     repeat scan binary-mode file "net32.dat"
        match netutil.net32 => num
           output "d" % netutil.from-net32 num || "%n"
     again

Because the file stores the binary numbers in network order, it can be read on any platform with the same results.
