mexPrintf

ANSI C printf-style output routine

C Syntax

#include "mex.h"
int mexPrintf(const char *format, ...);

Arguments
format, ...
   ANSI C printf-style format string and optional arguments.

Description

This routine prints a string on the screen and in the diary (if the diary is in use). It provides a callback to the standard C printf routine already linked inside MATLAB, and avoids linking the entire stdio library into your MEX-file.

In a MEX-file, you must call mexPrintf instead of printf.

Examples

See mexfunction.c in the mex subdirectory of the examples directory. For an additional example, see phonebook.c in the refbook subdirectory of the examples directory.
