Low-Level MathLink Operations

Sending Low-Level Data

MLPutNext() — prepare to send an object of the specified type

MLPutSize() — specify the number of bytes to send

MLPutData() — send raw bytes

MLBytesToPut() — find the number of bytes remaining to be sent

Receiving Low-Level Data

MLGetNext() — continue to the next object and return its type

MLGetType() — return the type of the current object

MLGetData() — get raw bytes

MLBytesToGet() — the number of bytes to receive

Error Handling

MLError(), MLErrorMessage() — information on the most recent error

MLClearError() — clear the most recent error

Flow Control

MLReady(), MLReadyParallel() — test whether there is data ready to be read

MLFlush() — send any data currently buffered

MLCreateMark(), MLSeekToMark(), ... — rewind to specified positions

MLSetYieldFunction(), MLGetYieldFunction() — functions to call while waiting

Interrupts & Aborts

MLPutMessage(), MLPutMessageWithArg() — send an interrupt or abort message

MLGetMessage() — receive an interrupt or abort message

MLMessageReady() — whether an interrupt or abort message is available

MLSetMessageHandler(), MLGetMessageHandler() — handler for messages received

MLSetSignalHandler(), MLUnsetSignalHandler() — handler for signals on Unix
