hmlib

The functions contained in hmlib are divided into six groups. All of these functions begin with the HM_ prefix:

1. ASCII file functions: Enable you to read integer, double, string and end-of-line data from ASCII files.
2. Dynamic block functions: Give the capability of working with dynamically allocated arrays without worrying about the low-level details of dynamic memory allocation.
3. Memory allocation functions: Allow for direct memory allocation and also enhances the standard C functions with a level of error checking to prevent common errors from occurring.
4. Miscellaneous functions: Allow you to terminate programs, send messages, and read and write to binary files.
5. String functions: Handle string operations.
6. Vector functions: Allow for vector operations to be performed.

Header files are included in source code files to define structures, variables, and prototypes. In order for a program to be compiled using the HyperMesh libraries, the program must use the header files provided with HyperMesh. These functions are provided in the hmlib.h header file.
