assign(3)		    Library Functions Manual		       assign(3)

NAME
     assign - assign an integer value, check for truncation

SYNTAX
     #include <libowfat/rangecheck.h>

     int assign(dest,a);

DESCRIPTION
     If a and dest have the same type, or the value of a is representable in the
     type of dest, do dest=a and return 0.

     Otherwise, return 1.

     Note: This is a macro, so dest does not have to be a pointer.

BUGS
     In  the multiplication functions, a return value of 1 signals success and 0
     failure. In add_of, sub_of and assign it's the other way around.
