Summary : Development files for decnumber

License : MIT
Description :
: The decNumber library implements the General Decimal Arithmetic Specification
: in ANSI C. This specification defines a decimal arithmetic which meets the
: requirements of commercial, financial, and human-oriented applications. It
: also matches the decimal arithmetic in the IEEE 754 Standard for Floating
: Point Arithmetic.
:
: The library fully implements the specification, and hence supports integer,
: fixed-point, and floating-point decimal numbers directly, including infinite,
: NaN (Not a Number), and subnormal values. Both arbitrary-precision and
: fixed-size representations are supported.
:
: The decnumber-devel package contains libraries and header files for
: developing applications that use decnumber.
