MATHEMATICA MATHLINK C FUNCTION

MLPutByteArray()

int MLPutByteArray(MLINK link, unsigned char *a, int *dims, char **heads, int d)
puts an array of integers in the range 0-255 to the MathLink connection specified by link to form a depth d array with dimensions dims.

DetailsDetails

  • The array a must be laid out in memory like a C array declared explicitly as .
  • If heads is given as NULL, the array will be assumed to have head List at every level.
  • The length of the array at level i is taken to be .
  • MLPutByteArray() returns 0 in the event of an error, and a nonzero value otherwise.
  • Use MLError() to retrieve the error code if MLPutByteArray() fails.
  • MLPutByteArray() is declared in the MathLink header file mathlink.h.
