lib-dir: character string
lib-dir is a character string defining a directory that contains compiled Scilab function (.bin) files.
In addition to these files lib-dir must have a file called names, that contains the names of the functions defined in lib-dir. On success, all functions in lib-dir are available from within Scilab. They are loaded on demand when called for the first time.
Binary files can be created from within Scilab with the command save.
Scilab's standard libraries are defined using lib on the SCIDIR/macros/* subdirectories.
A library variable usually is saved for later loading, either on-line or from the user-specific startup file (see startup).
Scilab tacitly assumes that each xxxx.bin file defines a variable named xxxx.
//define some variables function z = myplus(x, y), z = x + y,endfunction function z = yourplus(x, y), x = x - y,endfunction A=1:10; //create the *.bin files in libdir libdir=TMPDIR save(libdir + '/myplus.bin', myplus); save(libdir + '/yourplus.bin', yourplus); save(libdir + '/A.bin', A); //create the name file mputl(['myplus';'yourplus';'A'],TMPDIR+'/names'); //build the library containing myplus and yourplus xlib = lib(libdir+'/') //erase the variables clear myplus yourplus A //Automatic loading and execution myplus(1,2) A
