LinkLaunch
LinkLaunch
["
prog
"]
starts the external program
prog
and opens a
MathLink
connection to it.
MORE INFORMATION
LinkLaunch
["
prog
"]
runs
prog
as a subsidiary or child process to your current
Mathematica
session.
You can use a command such as
LinkLaunch
["math -mathlink"]
to launch a subsidiary
Mathematica
kernel process from within your
Mathematica
session.
On most computer systems calling
LinkLaunch
["
prog
"]
multiple times with the same argument will start several
prog
processes running.
On some computer systems,
LinkLaunch
[]
will bring up a program browser.
LinkLaunch
returns a
LinkObject
.
The option
LinkProtocol
specifies the underlying data transport protocol to use.
LinkLaunch
internally calls a function analogous to the
MLOpenArgv()
function in the
MathLink
library.
