2.2 Specific Entry-Point Names

Each generic interface name documented in the interface section of a routine description corresponds to one or more specific entry- point names described in Appendix B. For example, on OpenVMS Alpha systems, the acosd function has five entry-point names; one for each available floating-point data type. The acosd entry-point names are math$acosd_f, math$acosd_s, math$acosd_x, math$acosd_g, and math$acosd_t. On Digital UNIX Alpha systems, the acosd function has two entry-point names corresponding to their supported data types: S_FLOAT and T_FLOAT. The two entry-point names are acosdf for S_FLOAT input arguments and acosd for T_FLOAT arguments. Use the specific entry-point name that corresponds to the input argument data type.
