File: $CINTSYSDIR/include/README

About this file:

        This file contains information about $CINTSYSDIR/include directory 
        and files under the directory.

$CINTSYSDIR environment variable:

        Environment variable CINTSYSDIR must point to the directory where 
        you have installed cint. For example, if you installed cint into
        /usr/local/cint, 

            ksh,bsh
                $ CINTSYSDIR=/usr/local/cint
                $ export CINTSYSDIR
            csh
                % setenv CINTSYSDIR /usr/local/cint

        If you don't do this, you can not utilize files and class libraries
        uner $CINTSYSDIR/include.

$CINTSYSDIR/include directory:

        This directory contains Cint's standard header files other than
        STL library. (STL header files are located under $CINTSYSDIR/stl 
        directory)  Files in this directory can be included or linked by
        '#include <xxx>' statement.

DLL files:

        Several DLL (shared library) files are created by Cint setup
        script. Those libraries can expand Cint capability beyond ANSI/ISO
        C/C++.

  include/long.dll     (created under lib/longlong)
        This provides 64bit integer 'long long'. Created under lib/longlong
        directory. This file is needed by both pure Cint and ROOT/CINT.

include/stdfunc.dll (created under lib/stdstrct)

        This provides C standard library function. Cint mostly works fine
        without this file. However, when it comes to a complicated function
        overloading resolution, this library helps.

include/posix.dll (created under lib/posix)

        This provides subset of POSIX system calls. Emulation library
        is provides under Windows.
        ROOT/CINT may not need this because ROOT has its own library. 

include/win32api.dll (created under lib/win32api)

        This provides subset of Win32 API. Windows only.
        ROOT/CINT may not need this because ROOT has its own library. 

include/cintsock.dll (created under lib/socket)

        This provides TCP/IP socket library.  
        ROOT/CINT may not need this because ROOT has its own library.

  include/ipc.dll      (created under lib/ipc)
        This provides shared memory, semaphore and inter process messaging.
        ROOT/CINT may not need this because ROOT has its own library. 

include/pthread.dll (created under lib/pthread)

        This provides pthread library. Please be careful when you use
        this library because Cint itself is not thread safe. Please examine
        example in demo/mthread.
        ROOT/CINT may not need this because ROOT has its own library. 

Auxiliary files:

        Several DLL (shared library) files are created by Cint setup
        script. Those libraries provides auxiliary capability. Those
        files are not essential to Cint.

include/statistics.dll

include/array.h/.c/.dll
include/carray.h/.c/.dll

Array and complex array class.

include/fft.h/.c/.dll

Fast Fourier Transform library.

include/lsm.h/.c/.dll

Least Square Method. Line regression.

include/ReadF.h/.cxx/.dll

include/RegE.h/.cxx/.dll

Regular expression class.
