libraries                    Overview                   libraries




A library is an archive file of commonly used functions that have
been compiled,  tested, and stored for inclusion  in a program at
link time.

The  COHERENT system  stores  its libraries  in two  directories,
/usr/lib and /lib.  The following libraries are kept in /usr/lib:


     libcurses.a  curses library
     libl.a       lex library
     libmp.a      Multi-precision arithmetic library
     libterm.a    termcap library
     liby.a       yacc library
     lib.b        bc's function library (in bc source)


The following libraries are kept in /lib:


libc.a       General functions and system calls
libm.a       Mathematics routines
