Return: non-zero when they are

function put_le

static void put_le(
    unsigned char * p,
    unsigned long v,
    int n
)

put a little endian value

Parameters:

• p where
• v the value
• n its size, 2 or 4

function process_args

    int argc,
    char ** argv
)

read -V

Parameters:

• argc argument count
• argv arguments

Return: 0, or -1 on a bad argument
