deleteNamedVariable

a C gateway function uses to delete a variable from name

Syntax

int deleteNamedVariable(void* _pvCtx, const char* _pstName)

Arguments

_pvCtx

Scilab environment pointer, pass in "pvApiCtx" provided by api_scilab.h.

_pstName

Name of the variable.

Description

a C gateway function uses to delete a variable from name

Examples

Scilab test script

'#include ""MALLOC.h""'
