Lhs (deprecated)

Arguments

nb_params

the number of output arguments present in the calling Scilab function

Description

Lhs provides a C gateway function which provides the number of output arguments present in the calling Scilab function. You must include stack-c.h to benefit from this function.

Note: Lhs means Left Hand Side.

WARNING: This API is deprecated from Scilab 5.2.0 and is going to be removed with Scilab 6.0. Please use API Scilab (the new Scilab API).

Examples

In this example, the C gateway function can take several output arguments and prints in the Scilab console the integer corresponding to the number of output arguments detected in the calling Scilab function.

#include <stack-c.h>
#include <sciprint.h>

int sci_mylhs(char * fname)
{
  sciprint("The number of output arguments is %d\n", Lhs);

  return 0;
}
