- This directory contains libcommon, a library of miscellaneous support
- functions, independent of libplot, which is statically linked with several
- of the package executables. It also contains the file fontlist.c, which is
- symlinked at build time into the home directory of any executable that
- needs to get font information, such as lists of supported font names, from
- libplot.
- The reason fontlist.c is not in a library of its own (as it used to be) is
- that it accesses internal, undocumented data structures of libplot. On AIX
- systems, it seems libtool can't link the executables with both a
- `libfontlist' and libplot, due to some AIX foolishness about libraries not
- being allowed to contain undefined symbols.
- The functions in libcommon are declared in ../include/libcommon.h, with the
- exception of those in getopt.c and getopt1.c, which are declared in
- ../include/getopt.h. The functions in fontlist.c are declared in
- ../include/fontlist.h.
