genlib — build library from functions in given directory
genlib(lib_name [[,dir_name, [ Force [,verb [,Names]]]]) genlib(lib_name [,path=dir_name] [,verbose=verb] [,force=Force] [,names=Names])
Scilab string. The variable name of the library to (re)create.
Scilab string. The name of the directory to look for
.sci-files.
boolean value (default value is %f). Set it to
%t to force the sci-files recompilation.
boolean values (default value is %f). Set it to
%t to get information.
a vector of strings, the names of function to include in the library. By default all the sci-files are taken into account
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).
