NAME

Naming Conventions − An explanation of function names used in Doré

DESCRIPTION

All Doré functions start with a “D” followed by a single lower case letter specifying the type of Doré function.  <In Fortran the entire function name is in upper case.> The rest of the function name is a mnemonic, using concatenated words or abbreviations with the first character of each word in upper case. 

The following table illustrates the second-letter mnemonic variations:

DcXXXXX a Doré constant value, used as a parameter
DdXXXXX a Doré device function
DeXXXXX a Doré user extension function
Used when adding user-defined extensions to Doré;
not typically used by application programs.
DfXXXXX a Doré frame function
DgXXXXX a Doré group function
DoXXXXX a Doré object creation function
DpXXXXX a Doré primitive function
DsXXXXX a Doré system function, or object manipulation function
DtXXXXX a Doré type declaration, used for passing parameters
DvXXXXX a Doré view function
