Purpose

Small conversion helpers for float bits, printable checks and human-readable size formatting.

API Reference

uint32_t XFloatToU32(float fValue)

• Arguments:
  • floating-point value.
• Does:
  • reinterprets the float bits through a shared global union.
• Returns:
  • raw uint32_t bit pattern.

float XU32ToFloat(uint32_t nValue)

• Arguments:
  • raw 32-bit bit pattern.
• Does:
  • reinterprets the bits as float.
• Returns:
  • floating-point value.

xbool_t XTypeIsPrint(const uint8_t *pData, size_t nSize)

• Arguments:
  • byte buffer and max length.
• Does:
  • checks bytes until either nSize is exhausted or the first NUL byte is seen.
  • fails on the first non-printable byte.
• Returns:
  • XTRUE when all examined bytes are printable.
  • XFALSE otherwise.

size_t XBytesToUnit(char *pDst, size_t nSize, size_t nBytes, xbool_t bShort)

• Arguments:
  • destination buffer, size, byte count and short-format flag.
• Does:
  • formats bytes as B, KB, MB or GB.
  • uses one decimal in short mode, two decimals in long mode, except GB which is formatted without decimals.
• Returns:
  • written length.

size_t XKBToUnit(char *pDst, size_t nSize, size_t nKB, xbool_t bShort)

• Arguments:
  • destination buffer, size, kilobyte count and short-format flag.
• Does:
  • formats values as K, M, G or T / KB, MB, GB, TB.
• Returns:
  • written length.

Important Notes

• XFloatToU32() / XU32ToFloat() use one shared global union, so they are not independently thread-safe storage primitives.
• These helpers are for display and quick conversions, not stable serialization formats.
