genlib

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.
