+# AIX requires the list of external symbols (variables or functions)

+# The list is called the export file and it is a simple text file.
+# The first line must be
+#!
+# That is, hash-bang, pound-shout, however you want to call it.
+# The remainder of the file are the names of the symbols, one per line.
+# The file is then given to the system loader (cc/xlc command line)
