.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR lsaneglue
library contains code to let you call SANE functions directly from ORCA/C.
To avoid namespace conflicts with
.IR <math.h> ,
it was necessary to change
.IR <sane.h> .
Thus, all SANE functions are now prefixed with
.BR s_ .
(For example,
.BR annuity
became
.BR s_annuity ,
and
.BR sin
became
.BR s_sin .)
This lets you choose easily between the SANE and ISO/C implementations of
the same function.
.LP
Below is a brief overview of the functions in
.BR lsaneglue .
This overview does not replace, however, proper documentation. To fully
understand SANE, you will need the
.IR "Apple Numerics Manual".
SANE is also introduced in the
.IR "Apple IIgs Toolbox Reference" ,
Volume 2", Chapter 18.
.LP
It is important that the file
.IR <sane.h>
is used as the reference for constants used for
rounding direction, rounding precision, number classes, ordering relations,
formatting styles, NaN codes, and for settine and testing exceptions,
.LP
In the following list, page numbers refer to the
.IR "Apple Numerics Manual" .
.IP \fBfindfpcp\fR
This function is specific to the
.BR lsaneglue
library; it is not part of SANE proper and is not documented elsewhere.
.sp 1
.BR findfpcp
will find an FPE (Innovative Systems' Floating Point Engine)
or NC (Number Cruncher) card and return the slot number in which it resides.
If a card is not found, it will return
.BR -1 .
.sp 1
You can use the output of this function as the argument for the ORCA/C
.BR setfpeslot (3)
routine, which is used when having ORCA/C create code for the FPE/NC
directly (through the directive
.BR "#pragma float 1 1" ).

.SH "SANE TOOLKIT ERRORS"
The fclass functions should return the sign of the passed number
in n-bit and Y. They do not report the sign at all, though, which
has to be considered a bug.
.BR s_signnum
has been rewritten to not rely on fclassx any more.
