Preliminary remarks

This manual serves at the same time as a Reference manual and as a User Guide for the EPIO package.

In this manual examples are in monotype face and strings to be input by the user are underlined. In the index the page where a routine is defined is in bold, page numbers where a routine is referenced are in normal type.

In the description of the routines a * following the name of a parameter indicates that this is an output parameter. If another * precedes a parameter in the calling sequence, the parameter in question is both an input and output parameter.

This document has been produced using LaTeX [1] with the cernman style option, developed at CERN.
