# SOFA.jl

Unofficial wrapper of the IAU SOFA C libraries for fundamental astronomy. 

## Description

The purpose of this package is to wrap the SOFA C library of fundamental astonomical function to make it easily accessible in Julia. This package serves as a _wrapper_ only. All functions ultimately call the original, unmodified, SOFA C library functions which are compiled as part of the package build process.

The full SOFA C test suite is reproduced as part of the package to

prove compliance and reproducibility of the core SOFA C functionality.

## Package Version <-> SOFA Release Correspondence

The package versions correspond to the following releases of the SOFA C Library:

| Package Version | SOFA Release |

| --------------- | ------------ | 

| v2.0            | 2019-07-22   |

| v1.0            | 2018-01-30   |

## Notes

1. All computed values are returned by the function call. No values are returned by reference.

2. Wrappers for _iauAtciqn_, _iauAticqn_, and _iauLdn_ do not currently work properly.

## Compliance with SOFA License
