Utility Service Routines

The utility service routines are called by other supports and may also be called by application programs.

These routines perform various basic functions, including date and time manipulations, pixel packing and unpacking, writing to log files, locking files, etc. Most applications that use archive I/O or the AVHRR model will need to link to these routines.

A program can access the utility service routines by linking the following object library:
