MLPutUTF8Function (C Function)

MLPutUTF8Function has been replaced by WSPutUTF8Function.

int MLPutUTF8Function(( MLINK l , const unsigned char * s , int v , int n )

puts a function with head given by a UTF-8 encoded symbol with name s of length v and with n arguments to the MathLink connection specified by l.

Details

  • After the call to MLPutUTF8Function(), other MathLink functions must be called to send the arguments of the function.
  • MLPutUTF8Function() returns 0 in the event of an error, and a nonzero value if the function succeeds.
  • Use MLError() to retrieve the error code if MLPutUTF8Function() fails.
  • MLPutUTF8Function() is declared in the MathLink header file mathlink.h.

#include "mathlink.h"

/* A function to put List[1,2,3] to the link */

void f(MLINK l)
{
    unsigned char name[4];
    name[0] = 'L';
    name[1] = 'i';
    name[2] = 's';
    name[3] = 't';

    if(! MLPutUTF8Function(l, (const unsigned char *)name, 4, 3))
    { /* Unable to put the function head to the link */ }

    if(! MLPutInteger8(l, 1))
    { /* Unable to write 1 to the link */ }

    if(! MLPutInteger8(l, 2))
    { /* Unable to write 2 to the link */ }

    if(! MLPutInteger8(l, 3))
    { /* Unable to write 3 to the link */ }

    if(! MLEndPacket(l))
    { /* Unable to write the end-of-packet sequence to the link */ }

    if(! MLFlush(l))
    { /* Unable to flush the outbound data to the link */ }
