MLLowLevelDeviceName (C Function)

MLLowLevelDeviceName has been replaced by WSLowLevelDeviceName.

int MLLowLevelDeviceName( MLINK l , const char ** name )

gets the low-level protocol form of the link name of the MathLink connection specified by l, storing the result in name.

Details

  • MLLowLevelDeviceName() allocates memory for the name that must be released by calling MLReleaseLowLevelDeviceName(). If MLLowLevelDeviceName() returns an error, do not call MLReleaseLowLevelDeviceName() on the contents of name.
  • MLLowLevelDeviceName() returns 1 on success and 0 on failure.
  • MLLowLevelDeviceName() is declared in the MathLink header file mathlink.h.
