Annotation of 43BSDTahoe/cci/libM/Doc, revision 1.1.1.1

1.1       root        1: The new floating point library consists of 5 files which define 8 functions.
                      2: The files and functions are:
                      3: 
                      4:        atand.c:        atan(arg), atan2(arg1, arg2)
                      5:        expd.c:         exp(arg)
                      6:        logd.c:         log(arg), log10(arg)
                      7:        sind.c:         sin(arg), cos(arg)
                      8:        sqrtd.c:        sqrt(arg)
                      9: 
                     10: These files are archived in a library called 'libM.a'. Therefore, to use
                     11: any of these functions, the user must specify '-lM' option to 'ld(1)' as
                     12: in:
                     13: 
                     14:        cc c.c -lM
                     15: 
                     16: Note that, the standard library has some additional functions that are not
                     17: available in the new library. Therefore, to compile the programs that use
                     18: those functions from the standard library, one must specify:
                     19: 
                     20:        cc c.c -lM -lm
                     21: 
                     22: The order of appearance of '-lM' and '-lm' options is important. If '-lM'
                     23: is not specified before '-lm' none of the functions in 'libM.a' will be
                     24: loaded since they are all available in 'libm.a' also.
