This section describes those functions that are in the Fortran run time library. The functions listed here provide an interface from f77 programs to the system in the same manner as the C library does for C programs. They are automatically loaded as needed by the Fortran compiler f77 (1), except for the graphics interface routines. Those must be explicitly requested, see plot (3f).
The math intrinsics required by the 1977 Fortran standard are available, although not described here. In addition, the abs, sqrt, exp, log, sin, and cos intrinsics have been extended for double complex values. They may be referenced using the generic names listed above, or they may be referenced using their specific names that consist of the generic names preceded by either cd or z. For example, if zz is double complex, then sqrt(zz), zsqrt(zz), or cdsqrt(zz) compute the square root of zz. The dcmplx intrinsic forms a double complex value from two double precision variables or expressions, and the name of the specific function for the conjugate of a double complex value is dconjg.
Most of these functions are in libU77.a. Some are in libF77.a or libI77.a. A few intrinsic functions are described for the sake of completeness.
For efficiency, the SCCS ID strings are not normally included in the a.out file. To include them, simply declare
external f77lidin any f77 module.
