genlib
build library from functions in given directory
Calling Sequence
genlib(lib_name [[,dir_name, [ Force [,verb [,Names]]]]) genlib(lib_name [,path=dir_name] [,verbose=verb] [,force=Force] [,names=Names])
Arguments
- lib_name:
Scilab string. The variable name of the library to (re)create.
- dir_name:
Scilab string. The name of the directory to look for
.sci
-files.- Force
boolean value (default value is
%f
). Set it to%t
to force the sci-files recompilation.- verb
boolean values (default value is
%f
). Set it to%t
to get information.- Names
a vector of strings, the names of function to include in the library. By default all the sci-files are taken into account
Description
For each .sci
file in dir_name
(or only those
specified by the Names
argument), genlib
executes a
exec
and saves the functions to the corresponding .bin
file. The .sci
file must not contain anything but Scilab
functions. If a .bin
file is newer than the associated
.sci
file, genlib
does not translate and save the file.
This default behaviour can be changed if force
is given and
set to %t
. In this latter case the recompilation is always
performed for each .sci
file.
When all .sci
files have been processed, genlib
creates a
library variable named lib_name
and saves it in the file
lib
in dir_name
. If the Scilab variable
lib_name
is not protected (see predef) this
variable is updated.
If verbose
is et to %t
information are displayed during
the build process.
If dir_name
argument is not given and if lib_name
Scilab variable exists and it is a library dir_name is taken equal to the
lib_name
library path (update mode).
Restrictions
Scilab tacitly assumes that file foo.sci
defines at least a
function named foo
. If subsidiary functions are included,
they are made known to Scilab only after the function foo
had been referenced.
