libraries" -- Overview" "
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. or their subdirectories: The following libraries are kept in //uussrr//lliibb: 

lliibbccuurrsseess..aa      ccuurrsseess library and tteerrmmiinnffoo functions
lliibbeeddiitt..aa        Routines to gather and edit user input
lliibbggddbbmm..aa        Library for GNU DBM functions
lliibbll..aa           lleexx library
lliibbmmpp..aa          Multi-precision arithmetic library
lliibbssoocckkeett..aa      ssoocckkeettss emulation library
lliibbtteerrmm..aa        Functions to read tteerrmmccaapp data
lliibbyy..aa           yyaacccc library
lliibb..bb            bbcc's function library (in bbcc source)
The following libraries are kept in /lib: 

lliibbcc..aa           General functions and system calls
lliibbmm..aa           Mathematics routines
In addition, COHERENT comes with a library of miscellaneous routines, called libmisc. See the Lexicon article libmisc for information on how to prepare this library for use.
