The NAG Library is available for use on a number of different computer systems. For each distinct system an implementation of the Library is prepared and this implementation is given a unique code. The specifics that define the implementation are: the working precision, the major and minor marks of the NAG Library, the target hardware and operating system, the compiler used, and the vendor library (if any) that is also required to be linked.
a00adc may be called to return, in separate arguments, these specific details of the NAG Library implementation that is being used; it also returns whether a valid licence has been found for this implementation. This differs from
a00aac which simply outputs the collected information in a readable form directly to the
stdout (standard output) stream.
None.
-
1:
– char *
Output
-
On exit: the implementation title which usually lists the target platform, operating system and compiler.
-
2:
– char *
Output
-
On exit: the working or basic precision of the implementation. Some functions may perform operations in reduced precision or additional precision, but the great majority will perform all operations in basic precision.
-
3:
– char *
Output
-
On exit: the product code for the NAG Library implementation that is being used. The code has a discernible structure, but it is not necessary to know the details of this structure. The product code can be used to differentiate between individual product licence codes.
-
4:
– char *
Output
-
On exit: the major mark of the NAG Library implementation that is being used.
-
5:
– char *
Output
-
On exit: the minor mark of the NAG Library implementation that is being used.
-
6:
– char *
Output
-
On exit: the target hardware for the NAG Library implementation that is being used.
-
7:
– char *
Output
-
On exit: the target operating system for the NAG Library implementation that is being used.
-
8:
– char *
Output
-
On exit: the C compiler used to build the NAG Library implementation that is being used.
-
9:
– char *
Output
-
On exit: the Fortran compiler used to build the NAG Library implementation that is being used.
-
10:
– char *
Output
-
On exit: the subsidiary library, if any, that must be linked with the NAG Library implementation that is being used. If the implementation does not require a subsidiary library then the string
'(self-contained)'
will be returned in
vend.
-
11:
– Nag_Boolean *
Output
-
On exit: specifies whether or not a valid licence has been found for the NAG Library implementation that is being used.
None.

This example makes a call of
a00adc, collects information on the NAG Library implementation that is being used and prints it out in a form that is similar to the output obtained by a call to
a00aac.
None.
