How does this C function work?

Hello out there,

I'm working currently on a program, which is supposed to import an excel
file into a mySql database. I've found following function in internet. It is
supposed to convert HEXA-Decimal format into ASCII. The problem is: I don't
know, how exactly it works!!! Can any C-Expert help me?

I appreciate you anyway, for reading and/or writing back! :-))

Best, Emre

int getascii(char *bytes, int pos, int chars, char *str) {
int i;

bytes += pos;
for (i = 0; i < chars; i++) {
*str++ = *bytes++;
}
*str = '\0';
return chars;

}
