Addendum: I guess the format should actually be %O (unsigned long) instead of %o (unsigned int) since it's defined as an unsigned long, though the upper bits probably won't be filled at all.

Hello,
I have been googaling and searching but I must be missing something. Can someone please tell me how to get the Octal representation from the returned

Thanks,
- Charles
