How to use the library reference
The subroutines in the Test subroutine library reference (on page 3-1) are in the C programming
language. Each subroutine is presented in a standard format that follows the pattern below:
 Purpose statement: The first line of text under the subroutine heading contains a brief
explanation of what the subroutine does.
Figure 1: Example purpose statement
 Usage: A line of code representing the prototype of the subroutine, followed by a table listing the
input and output parameters for the subroutine. Parameters that you specify are shown in
monospace italic font; parameters preceded by an asterisk (*) are pointers to information
that is returned. Each parameter is preceded by one of the following declarations that specifies
the data type for the parameter: int (integer), double (double-precision floating-point), and
char (a single character value).
