CLIB

Purpose

The functionality of earlier versions of CLIB has been incorporated into a server library of C functions. The server library provides an ANSI-compliant runtime interface for other NetWare^® Loadable Module^TM (NLM^TM) programs. You cannot load the server library manually because it is autoloaded by the server operating system. The server library includes the following NLM programs, of which clib.nlm is one:

• fpsm.nlm---A library of functions providing floating-point support for NLM programs

• threads.nlm---A library of functions that constitute the NetWare threads package

• requestr.nlm---A library of functions that make up the NetWare requester

• nlmlib.nlm---A library of functions that provide basic runtime support for NLM programs, including POSIX-mandated functionality

• nit.nlm---A library of NetWare interface tools needed by some NLM programs

• clib.nlm---The standard C runtime library containing ANSI-mandated functions

• lib0.nlm---The message library, containing system and error messages for most of the other server library NLM programs

Using CLIB

CLIB and the other modules of the server library are autoloaded by the server operating system.
