mi_put_interval()

The mi_put_interval() function copies an interval value to a buffer regardless of alignment.

Syntax

Usage

The mi_put_interval() function is useful for implementing send and receive functions for user-defined data types when aligned values such as an mi_interval need to be written to possibly unaligned data buffers.

The returned address is advanced by the size of an mi_interval value to permit a subsequent copy. In other words, if n is the length of the value in datap, the returned address is n bytes advanced from the original buffer address in datap.

Return Values

An address in the datap buffer.
