The program interface +includes routines for file i/o, formatted i/o, command language (CL) i/o, +database i/o, image i/o, graphics i/o, magnetic tape i/o, and memory i/o. +Routines are also provided for manipulating virtual file names, for date +and time, process control, exception handling, bitwise boolean operations, +string operations, character comparisons, vector operations (array +processing), sorting, pattern matching, and random number generation. +.PP +Only the machine independent part of the program interface is described +here; the machine dependent OS interface is not intended for use in +applications programs and is therefore not described here. An extensive +collection of mathematical library routines is available but is described +elsewhere. As its name implies, the "crib sheet" does not explain how +to use the program interface routines; little more than the calling +sequence for each routine is given. +.AE |
