Software libraries
The PIPS software libraries provides C and C++ application programming interfaces in standard C libraries such as
POSIX
- libc - The "C Standard Library" with system APIs mapped to Symbian OS APIs for better performance
- libm - A mathematical library
- libpthread - Implements POSIX-style threading support in terms of the underlying Symbian OS thread support
- libdl - Implements POSIX-style dynamic linking which extends the dynamic loading model of Symbian OS
