Re: need to read three bytes of offset

[prashanth s <prbanglore () gmail com>]

Hi Guy Harris,

thanks for the clarification.
I was writing a function to read such 3 byte values and convert them to int.
Unaware that uint24 field is supported in C (I have seen uint24 field only
in wireshark).
Now I am using the uint24 type.

Regards,
Prashanth
