IMathLink Methods

The methods of the IMathLink interface are listed below. For a complete list of IMathLink interface members, see the IMathLink Members topic.

Public Instance Methods

BytesToGet	Gives the number of bytes that remain to be read in the element that is currently being read in textual form.
BytesToPut	Gives the number of bytes that remain to be sent in the element that is currently being sent in textual form.
CheckFunction	Reads a function name and argument count and requires that it match the specified function name.
CheckFunctionWithArgCount	Reads a function name and argument count and requires that it match the specified function name and arg count.
ClearError	Clears the link error condition, if possible.
Close	Closes the link.
Connect	Overloaded. Connects the link, if it has not already been connected.
CreateMark	Creates a mark at the current point in the incoming MathLink data stream.
DestroyMark	Destroys a mark.
DeviceInformation	A low-level function that retrieves special internal information from the MathLink device.
EndPacket	Call when you are finished writing the contents of a single packet.
Flush	Immediately transmits any data buffered for sending over the link.
GetArgCount	Reads the argument count of an expression being read manually.
GetArray	Overloaded. Reads an array of the specified type and depth.
GetBoolean	Reads the Mathematica symbols True or False as a bool.
GetBooleanArray	Reads a list as a one-dimensional array of bools.
GetByteArray	Reads a list as a one-dimensional array of bytes.
GetByteString	Reads a Mathematica string as an array of bytes.
GetCharArray	Reads a list as a one-dimensional array of chars.
GetComplex	Reads a complex number. This can be an integer, real, or a Mathematica expression with head Complex.
GetComplexArray	Reads a list as a one-dimensional array of complex numbers.
GetData	Gets a specified number of bytes in the textual form of the expression currently being read.
GetDecimal	Reads a Mathematica integer or real number or integer as a decimal.
GetDecimalArray	Reads a list as a one-dimensional array of decimals.
GetDouble	Reads a Mathematica real number or integer as a double.
GetDoubleArray	Reads a list as a one-dimensional array of doubles.
GetExpr	Reads an arbitrary expression from the link and creates an Expr from it.
GetExpressionType	Gives the type of the current element in the expression currently being read.
GetFunction	Reads a function name and argument count.
GetInt16Array	Reads a list as a one-dimensional array of shorts.
GetInt32Array	Reads a list as a one-dimensional array of ints.
GetInt64Array	Reads a list as a one-dimensional array of longs.
GetInteger	Reads a Mathematica integer as a 32-bit integer.
GetNextExpressionType	Gives the type of the next element in the expression currently being read.
GetObject	Reads a single expression off the link and returns an appropriate object.
GetSingleArray	Reads a list as a one-dimensional array of floats.
GetString	Reads a Mathematica character string.
GetStringArray	Reads a list as a one-dimensional array of strings.
GetStringCRLF	Reads a Mathematica character string and translates newlines into Windows format.
GetSymbol	Reads a Mathematica symbol as a string.
NewPacket	Discards the current packet, if it has been partially read. Has no effect if the previous packet was fully read.
NextPacket	"Opens" the next packet arriving on the link.
PeekExpr	Creates an Expr from the current expression, but does not drain it off the link.
Put	Overloaded. Sends a .NET type as its Mathematica representation.
PutArgCount	Specifies the argument count for a composite expression being sent manually.
PutData	Used for sending elements in so-called "textual" form.
PutFunction	Sends a function name and argument count.
PutFunctionAndArgs	Sends a function name and its arguments.
PutMessage	Sends a low-level MathLink message.
PutNext	Identifies the type of data element that is to be sent next.
PutSize	Specifies the size in bytes of an element being sent in textual form.
PutSymbol	Sends a symbol.
SeekMark	Resets the current position in the incoming MathLink data stream to an earlier point.
TransferExpression	Reads a complete expression from the named link and writes it to this link.
TransferToEndOfLoopbackLink	Reads the entire contents of a loopback link and writes it to this link.
