Converts a binary value into an ASCII character string in
    decimal, hexadecimal, or octal notation; returns the character
    string in an output string; and inserts variable character-string
    data into an output string.
    The Formatted ASCII Output with List Parameter ($FAOL) service
    provides an alternate method for specifying input parameters when
    calling the $FAO system service.
    On Alpha and Integrity server systems, this service accepts 64-
    bit addresses.

    C Prototype
      int sys$fao  (void *ctrstr, unsigned short int *outlen, void

      int sys$faol  (void *ctrstr, unsigned short int *outlen, void
                    *outbuf, void *prmlst);
