DESCRIPTION

14       The FlexiBLAS library provides an additional API beside the BLAS inter‐
15       face. This interface can be used to switch the number of threads during
16       the  runtime  or even completely change the used backend. The functions
17       are categorized into three sections:
18
19   Information Functions
20       -  flexiblas_getversion (3), Version information
21
22       -  flexiblas_print_loaded_backends (3), Print information about  loaded
23          backends.
24
25       -  flexiblas_print_avail_backends  (3),  Print  information  about  the
26          available backends.
27
28       -  flexiblas_print_current_backend  (3),  Print  the  currently  loaded
29          backend.
30
31
32   Backend Management Functions
33       -  flexiblas_list (3), Retrieve a list of all available backends.
34
35       -  flexiblas_list_loaded (3), Retrieve a list of all loaded backends.
36
37       -  flexiblas_load_backend  (3), Load a backends from the FlexiBLAS con‐
38          figuration.
39
40       -  flexiblas_load_backend_library (3), Load a backends  from  a  shared
41          library.
