MLPutByteSymbol (C Function)

MLPutByteSymbol has been replaced by WSPutByteSymbol.

int MLPutByteSymbol(MLINK link,const unsigned char *s,long l)

puts a symbol whose name is given by the character string s of length l to the MathLink connection specified by link.

Details

  • MLPutByteSymbol() can transfer the full range of characters representable in 8 bits.
  • The character string does not need to be terminated with a null byte.
  • MLPutByteSymbol() returns 0 in the event of an error, and a nonzero value if the function succeeds.
  • Use MLError() to retrieve the error code if MLPutByteSymbol() fails.
  • MLPutByteSymbol() is declared in the MathLink header file mathlink.h.

#include "mathlink.h"

/* send the expression Integrate[Cos[y],y] to a link */

void f(MLINK lp)
{
    if(! MLPutFunction(lp, "Integrate", 2))
        { /* unable to put the function to lp */ }

    if(! MLPutFunction(lp, "Cos", 1))
        { /* unable to put the function to lp */ }

    if(! MLPutByteSymbol(lp, "y", 1))
        { /* unable to put the symbol to lp */ }

    if(! MLPutByteSymbol(lp, "y", 1))
        { /* unable to put the symbol to lp */ }

    if(! MLEndPacket(lp))
        { /* unable to send the end-of-packet indicator to lp */ }

    if(! MLFlush(lp))
        { /* unable to flush any outgoing data buffered in lp */ }
