Notational Conventions

Font Conventions

The following font conventions are used throughout the manual:

This type style	Mixed with the uppercase in structure names as in IppLibraryVersion; also used in function names, code examples, and call statements; for example, ippmAdd_mm_32f.
This type style	Parameters in function type parameters and parameters description, for example, src1Stride1, width.

Naming Conventions

The following naming conventions for different items are used by the Intel IPP software:

• All names of the functions used for matrix operations have the ippm prefix. In code examples you can distinguish the Intel IPP interface functions from the application functions by this prefix.

  Note

  Each function in this manual is introduced by its short name (without the ippm prefix and descriptors) and a brief description of its purpose.

  The ippm prefix in function names is always used in code examples and function prototypes. In the text, this prefix is omitted when referring to the function group.

• Each new part of a function name starts with an uppercase character without underscore, for example, ippmFrobNorm. The underscore is used to separate the data types and data descriptors used with the function, for example, ippmFrobNorm_ma_32f.

For the detailed description of the function names structure in Intel IPP, see Function Naming.
