The EOSPAC utility package is a collection of interface routines, which can be used to access the SESAME data library and perform various data adjustments and interpolations on the SESAME data. The SESAME data library contains both thermodynamic (e.g., equation of state) and transport coefficients (e.g., opacity and conductivity), and it is described in reference 1. Note, for simplicity, the term EOS (equation of state) used herein includes both thermodynamic variables and transport coefficients. The EOSPAC utility package is designed to be used by physics codes (henceforth 'host codes') written in multiple languages and on multiple platforms. The remainder of this manual is organized into several sections. Section 2 provides a general overview of basic theory and models implemented within EOSPAC. Section 3 provides a general overview of how to use the EOSPAC interface library. Section 4 discusses conventions such as data organization and routine names. Sections 5 through 7 describe the public interfaces of EOSPAC in detail. Section 8 provides details related to some selected numerical features of EOSPAC. Section 9 gives examples for using the interface routines described in sections 5 through 7. Section 10 provides technical support contact information. Section 11 contains a brief set of acknowledgments. Finally, section 12 contains a list of referenced documents. Appendices list the Table Type Definitions, the Option Flag Definitions, the Information Flag Definitions, and the Error Code Definitions.
