  58. <h3 class="subsection">D.17.4 Additional <code>umf</code> notes</h3>
  59. <p>The C language API to <code>umf</code> provides very many less frequently
  60. used features that are not part of the virtual code interface, some of
  61. which could be added by minor modifications to the file &lsquo;<tt>umf.c</tt>&rsquo;
  62. in the <code>avram</code> source tree.
  63. </p>
  64. <p>A set of <code>dl_</code>* and <code>zl_</code>* functions orthogonal to those
  65. presently accessible would enable matrices having billions of rows or
  66. columns by using long integers, but memory requirements on the virtual
  67. code side for problems of that scale are probably prohibitive for the
  68. foreseeable future.
