Abstract
BASELIB is a support library for developing high-level library software. Its design is adaptable to other applications (utility routines, compilers, loaders, large application systems, etc.). BASELIB functions perform commonly-used system and I/O requests available in LTSS operating systems. BASELIB routines are machine dependent; they are closely tied to the machine and operating system for which they were programmed. However, an attempt was made to maintain compatibility and consistency across machines at the BASELIB calling level to provide a common base for moving large software systems across machines. It allows the programmer to structure higher level software in a machine independent fashion. Miscellaneous routines are included to perform character and string manipulation, number conversion, and output-file name generation.
