^$LIBRARY

Draft MDC Standard

7.1.3.6 ^$LIbrary

^$LI[BRARY] ( libraryexpr )

    libraryexpr::= expr V library

^$LIbrary provides information about the availability of libraries and library elements in a system.

If and only if a library identified by libraryexpr exists, ^$LIbrary( libraryexpr ) is defined ($Data returns a non-zero value); all non-empty string values are reserved for future extensions to the standard. Library information is stored beneath the ^$LIbrary(library) node:

^$LIbrary ( libraryexpr , expr V "ELEMENT" , libraryelementexpr )

    libraryelementexpr::= expr V libraryelement

Let lib be the value of libraryexpr and let e be the value of libraryelementexpr. If and only if a library lib and a libraryelement e exist, ^$LIbrary( lib , "LIBRARY", e ) is defined ($Data returns a non-zero value); all non-empty string values are reserved for future extensions to the standard.
