The Common Pipeline Library (CPL) comprises a set of ISO-C libraries
that provide a comprehensive, efficient and robust software
toolkit. It forms a basis for the creation of automated astronomical
data-reduction tasks (known as "pipelines"). CPL Title Graphic The CPL
was developed to standardise the way VLT instrument pipelines are
built, to shorten their development cycle and to ease their
maintenance. However, it may be more generally applied to any similar
application, and the details of the CPL code have been engineered in a
way to make the library portable and flexible, as well as minimising
external dependencies.
