    About stdlib...
  </summary>
  <p>We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.</p>
  <p>The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.</p>
  <p>When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.</p>
  <p>To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on <a href="https://github.com/stdlib-js/stdlib">GitHub</a>, and please consider <a href="https://opencollective.com/stdlib">financially supporting stdlib</a>. We greatly appreciate your continued support!</p>

## Installation

```bash
npm install @stdlib/strided-base-binary-signature-callbacks
```

</section>

<section class="usage">

## Usage

```javascript
var callbacks = require( '@stdlib/strided-base-binary-signature-callbacks' );
```

#### callbacks( table, signatures )

Assigns callbacks to binary interfaces according to type [promotion rules][@stdlib/ndarray/promotion-rules].

```javascript
var signatures = require( '@stdlib/strided-base-binary-dtype-signatures' );
var add = require( '@stdlib/number-float64-base-add' );
var cadd = require( '@stdlib/complex-float64-base-add' );
var caddf = require( '@stdlib/complex-float32-base-add' );

var dtypes = [
    'float64',
    'float32',
    'int32',
    'uint8'
];

var sigs = signatures( dtypes, dtypes, dtypes );
// returns [...]

var table = {
    'default': add,
    'complex64': caddf,
    'complex128': cadd
};

var list = callbacks( table, sigs );
// returns [...]
```

The function accepts the following arguments:

-   **table**: callback table.
-   **signatures**: strided array containing binary interface signatures.

A callback `table` should have the following properties:

-   **default**: default callback.
-   **complex64**: callback for single-precision complex floating-point numbers.
-   **complex128**: callback for double-precision complex floating-point numbers.

<section class="notes">

## Notes

-   The function assumes that the provided signature array has the following properties:

    -   a strided array having a stride length of `3` (i.e., every `3` elements define a binary interface signature).
    -   for each signature (i.e., set of three consecutive non-overlapping strided array elements), the first two elements are the input data types and the third element is the return data type.
    -   all signatures follow type [promotion rules][@stdlib/ndarray/promotion-rules].

## Examples

<!-- eslint no-undef: "error" -->

```javascript
var dtypes = require( '@stdlib/strided-dtypes' );
var signatures = require( '@stdlib/strided-base-binary-dtype-signatures' );
var add = require( '@stdlib/number-float64-base-add' );
var cadd = require( '@stdlib/complex-float64-base-add' );
var caddf = require( '@stdlib/complex-float32-base-add' );
var callbacks = require( '@stdlib/strided-base-binary-signature-callbacks' );

// Get the list of supported strided array data types:
var dt = dtypes();

// Generate binary interface signatures:
var sigs = signatures( dt, dt, dt );

// Define a callback table:
var table = {
    'default': add,
    'complex64': caddf,
    'complex128': cadd
};

// Generate a list of callbacks according to type promotion rules:
var clbks = callbacks( table, sigs );
// returns [...]
