  33. <p>External mathematical library functions such as those documented in
  34. <a href="External-Libraries.html#External-Libraries">External Libraries</a> that are invoked from virtual code by the
  35. <code>library</code> combinator (<a href="Library-combinator.html#Library-combinator">Library combinator</a>) are also
  36. accessible from C by way of a uniform API implemented by the functions
  37. declared in <code>libfuns.h</code>. This interface applies even to libraries
  38. <a name="index-Fortran-653"></a>implemented in Fortran such as <code>minpack</code>. This section briefly
  39. documents the functions in <code>libfuns.h</code> and sets out some
  40. recommeded guidelines for developers wishing to add support for other
  41. external libraries.
