MathLink C Function

MLPutMessageWithArg()

int MLPutMessageWithArg(MLINK link, int msg, int arg)
sends the message msg and its argument arg to the link object link.
  • MathLink messages provide out-of-band message sending and receiving that is not tied to the normal transfer of data.
  • MLPutMessageWithArg() returns 0 in the event of an error, and a nonzero value if the function succeeds.
  • Use MLError() to retrieve the error code if MLPutMessageWithArg() fails.
  • MLPutMessageWithArg() is declared in the MathLink header file mathlink.h.
