3 This subroutine is the library search procedure for the Multics
4 System Libraries. Its entry points are referenced by
5 multics_libraries_, the library descriptor for the Multics System
6 Libraries. These entry points can also be used to search other
7 libraries that have directories structured like those of the Multics
8 System Libraries.

18 :Entry: source_dirs: 10/26/83 multics_library_search_$source_dirs
19
20 This entry point searches directories organized like the Multics
21 online source directories. These directories contain archived and
22 unarchived source segments and exec_com control segments that are used
23 to create object segments. The names of all archive components must
24 be placed as additional names on their respective archives.
25
26
27 :Entry: object_dirs: 10/26/83 multics_library_search_$object_dirs
28
29 This entry point searches directories organized like the Multics
30 online object directories. These directories contain archived and
31 unarchived object segments, backup copies of exec_com and absentee
32 control segments intended for user usage, and backup copies of MSFs.
33 The names of all archive components must be placed on their respective
34 archives.

53 :Entry: hardcore_source_dir: 03/16/83 multics_library_search_$hardcore_source_dir
54
55 This entry point searches the Multics supervisor source directory. It
56 is inappropriate for use on other libraries because it uses a
57 specialized system identification data base.
