  28.      These functions operate on IFL data types and are provided for
  29.      convenience.  Each function is standalone and is not a member function of
  30.      any object.
  31.  
  32.      The data types used in the IFL are specified by the enumerated type,
  33.      _i_f_l_T_y_p_e, as defined in <_i_f_l/_i_f_l_T_y_p_e_s._h>. The following IFL data types are
  34.      valid:  _i_f_l_B_i_t, _i_f_l_U_C_h_a_r, _i_f_l_C_h_a_r, _i_f_l_U_S_h_o_r_t, _i_f_l_S_h_o_r_t, _i_f_l_U_I_n_t, _i_f_l_I_n_t,

  37.      iiiiffffllllDDDDaaaattttaaaaCCCClllloooosssseeeessssttttTTTTyyyyppppeeee() returns the data type closest to the _d_e_s_i_r_e_d type in
  38.      the set specified by the mask of data types in _a_l_l_o_w_e_d. The _f_l_a_g_s
  39.      parameter is the logical or of any of the folowing options:

  42.                               there aren't any, then fall back on unsigned
  43.                               values)
  44.  
  45.           iiiiffffllllDDDDaaaattttaaaaAAAAnnnnyyyySSSSiiiiggggnnnn      consider both signed and unsigned types.  The
  46.                               default behaviour is to consider types that
  47.                               match the signed/unsigned nature of _d_e_s_i_r_e_d.
  48.  
  49.           iiiiffffllllDDDDaaaattttaaaaDDDDeeeemmmmooootttteeee       don't allow type promotion; only consider types

  56.      an unsigned IFL type, then FALSE is returned.
