This is the main Amiga scanned linker library, linked with most programs
for the Amiga.  The major components of amiga.lib are:

  * stubs        Functions for each Amiga ROM routine that copy
                 arguments from the stack to the CPU registers --
                 thereby enabling stack-based C compilers to call
                 register-based Amiga ROM routines.

  * offsets      The negative offset from the library base for each
                 Amiga function. These are called Library Vector
                 Offsets (_LVO).

  * Exec         C functions which simplify many Exec procedures such
                 as the creation and deletion of tasks, ports, and I/O
                 request structures.

  * clib         C support functions including pseudo-random number
                 generation and a limited set of file and stdio
                 functions designed to work directly with AmigaDOS file
                 handles.

  * Math         C functions which provide some basic conversions to
                 and from Fast Floating Point (FFP) format numbers.

  * Graphics     C support functions to add and remove tasks from the
                 vertical-blanking interval interrupt server chain.

  * ARexx        C support functions for ARexx variable handling and
                 message checking.

    NOTE:
    -----
    The Timer, Commodities, and Intuition support functions listed below
    are valid only for use with Release 2.04 (V37) or a later version of
    the system software.

  * Timer        C support functions to do common timer device
                 operations.

  * Commodities  C functions which support the Commodities system.
                 Included are functions to deal with ToolTypes, and to
                 create various Commodities objects.

  * Intuition    Functions which provide support for Intuition's hook
                 and Boopsi sub-systems.

Most applications link with and use at least one function in amiga.lib.
