Section 1 Libraries Naming Convention
3BSE042835-600 17
Naming Convention
The name of a library shall describe its purpose.
The name of a library shall consist of a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters
forming the structure "LibNameLib". That is, the different parts of the name shall be
separated with uppercase letters and the name string shall always end with "Lib".
The maximum string length is 32 characters.
Some names are reserved. Examples of names used by the standard libraries are
BasicLib and IconLib.
All libraries share the same name space. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that
the user-defined libraries shall have a prefix in their library name. It is also
important to avoid too general names.
A split library's name starts with the function family (for example “Control”), then
the sub-category (for example “Advanced”), and ends with the suffix “Lib”.
For the support libraries, the naming convention is that the word “Support” should
be included between the main part of the name and the Lib suffix. For example, for
the user-defined library BUX, the support library could be named BUXSupportLib.
Table 2 provides a brief summary of the naming rules.
