Berkeley SoftFloat is a software implementation of binary floating-point that conforms to the IEEE Standard for Floating-Point Arithmetic. SoftFloat is distributed in the form of C source code. Building the SoftFloat sources generates a library file (typically softfloat.a or libsoftfloat.a) containing the floating-point subroutines.

The SoftFloat package is documented in the following files in the doc subdirectory:

SoftFloat.html	Documentation for using the SoftFloat functions.
SoftFloat-source.html	Documentation for building SoftFloat.
SoftFloat-history.html	History of the major changes to SoftFloat.
