LIAR Keywords

The KEYWORD: field in the LIAR comment block is there to facilitate searches and for grouping purposes. While you can add as many keywords as you like, it is the first keyword that is the most important; since it used for grouping functions into logical units. However, it is of little value if there is no guidelines for the choice of keywords to be used. For this reason the LIAR has adopted the Z-IMAGE categories for library functions, which are outlined in Table 4.
