Function Naming Conventions

The VML function names are lowercase for Fortran (vsabs) and of mixed (lower and upper) case for C (vsAbs).

The VML mathematical and pack/unpack function names have the following structure:

v[m]<?><name><mod>

where

The VML service function names have the following structure:

vml<name>

where

<name> indicates the function short name, with some of its letters in uppercase for the C interface. See examples in Table "VML Service Functions".

To call VML functions from an application program, use conventional function calls. For example, call the vector single precision real exponential function as

call vsexp ( n, a, y ) for the Fortran interface, or

call vmsexp ( n, a, y, mode ) for the Fortran interface with a specified mode, or

vsExp ( n, a, y ); for the C interface.
