int MLSetEnvIDString(MLENV env, const char *eid)
sets the MathLink environment identification string to eid.

MORE INFORMATION

Sometimes it is useful to provide a form of identification to the other side of the link prior to sending any packet data. MLSetEnvIDString() sets the application's identification string and MathLink will exchange that string with any remote MathLink connection during MLActivate() time.

MLSetEnvIDString() returns 0 in the event of an error, and a nonzero value if the function succeeds.

MLSetEnvIDString() is declared in the MathLink header file mathlink.h.
