StartScilab

Initializes and starts Scilab engine in Call Scilab

BOOL StartScilab(char *SCIpath, char *ScilabStartup, int Stacksize);

Description

This fonction starts the Scilab engine. This is mandatory to use SendScilabJob functions and to manage Scilab’s data.

BOOL is just a simple typedef on int ( typedef int BOOL ). TRUE is defined on 1 ( #define TRUE 1) and FALSE is defined on 0 ( #define FALSE 0).

Arguments

:SCIpath a standard C char* containing the path to Scilab data This

argument is mandatory under Linux, Unix or Mac OS X. Under Windows, if SCIpath is NULL, Scilab will find the path.

: :ScilabStartup a standard C char* containing the path to Scilab

startup script (scilab.start) If ScilabStartup is NULL, Scilab will use the default path (detected from SCIpath).

: :Stacksize a standard int defining the size of the Scilab stack If

Stacksize is zero, Scilab will use the default stacksize of Scilab.

: :returns 1 (TRUE) if the operation is successfull. 0 (FALSE) if an

error during initialization occurred.

Examples

// A simple StartScilab example
if ( StartScilab(`getenv`_("SCI"), NULL, 0) == FALSE )
{
`fprintf`_(stderr,"Error while calling StartScilab\n");
return -1;
}
