The 16-bit software and hardware peripheral libraries provide functions and macros
for setting up and controlling 16-bit peripherals. These libraries are
processor-specific and of the form libpDevice-omf.a, where
Device is the 16-bit device number (e.g.,
libp30F6014-coff.a for the dsPIC30F6014 device) and
omf is either elf or coff.
Documentation for these libraries is provided in HTML Help files. Examples of
use are also provided in each file. By default, the documentation is found in the
docs\periph_lib subdirectory of the MPLAB XC16 C Compiler install
directory (see “Libraries Overview, Compiler Installation Locations”).
