engOutputBuffer

Specify buffer for MATLAB output

C Syntax

#include "engine.h"
int engOutputBuffer(Engine *ep, char *p, int n);

Arguments
ep
   Engine pointer.

Description

engOutputBuffer defines a character buffer for engEvalString to return any output that ordinarily appears on the screen.

The default behavior of engEvalString is to discard any standard output caused by the command it is executing. engOutputBuffer(ep,p,n) tells any subsequent calls to engEvalString to save the first n characters of output in the character buffer pointed to by p.
