3. Library Reference

Much of the code developed for avram may be reusable in other projects, so it has been packaged into a library and documented in this chapter. For ease of reference, this chapter is organized with a separate section for each source file. For the most part, each source file encapsulates an abstract type and a number of related functions, except for a few cases where C makes such a design awkward. An attempt has been made to present the sections in a readable order as far as possible.

The documentation in this chapter is confined to the application program interface (API), and does not delve unnecessarily into any details of the implementation. A reader wishing to extend, modify, or troubleshoot the library itself can find additional information in the source code comments. These are more likely to be in sync with the code than this document may be, and are more readily accessible to someone working with the code.

Some general points pertaining to the library are the following.
