This paper proposes a smoothing method for symmetric conic linear programming (SCLP). We first characterize the central path conditions for SCLP problems with the help of Chen-Harker-Kanzow-Smale smoothing function. A smoothing-type algorithm is constructed based on this characterization and the global convergence and locally quadratic convergence for the proposed algorithm are demonstrated.
