MLGetUnicodeString()

Usage

• int MLGetUnicodeString(MLINK link, unsigned short **s, long *n) gets a character string from the MathLink connection specified by link, storing the string in s as a sequence of 16-bit Unicode characters.

Notes

• MLGetUnicodeString() allocates memory for the character string. You must call MLDisownUnicodeString() to disown this memory.

• External programs should not modify strings generated by MLGetUnicodeString().

• MLGetUnicodeString() stores all characters directly in 16-bit Unicode form.

• 8-bit ASCII characters are stored with a null high-order byte.

• See Section 2.13.5.
