  59. <p>External mathematical library functions such as those documented in
  60. <a href="External-Libraries.html#External-Libraries">External Libraries</a> that are invoked from virtual code by the
  61. <code>library</code> combinator (<a href="Library-combinator.html#Library-combinator">Library combinator</a>) are also
  62. accessible from C by way of a uniform API implemented by the functions
  63. declared in <code>libfuns.h</code>. This interface applies even to libraries
  64. <a name="index-Fortran-1"></a>
  65. implemented in Fortran such as <code>minpack</code>. This section briefly
  66. documents the functions in <code>libfuns.h</code> and sets out some
  67. recommeded guidelines for developers wishing to add support for other
  68. external libraries.
