.TH lib 3 "Nov 2000" "Scilab Group" "Scilab Function"
.so ../sci.an
.SH NAME
lib - library definition
.SH CALLING SEQUENCE
.nf
xlib = lib('lib-dir')
.fi
.SH PARAMETERS
lib-dir: character string
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fVlib-dir\fR is a character string defining a directory that contains
compiled Scilab function (\fV.bin\fR) files. In addition to these
files \fVlib-dir\fR must have a file called \fVnames\fR, that contains
the names of the functions defined in \fVlib-dir\fR. On success, all
functions in \fVlib-dir\fR 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
\fVsave\fR.
Scilab's standard libraries are defined using \fVlib\fR on the
\fVSCIDIR/macros/*\fR subdirectories.
As an example, given the following definitions
.nf
deff('z = myplus(x, y)', 'z = x + y')
deff('z = yourplus(x, y)', 'x = x - y')
lib_dir = '/home/joeuser/myscidir'
.fi
\fVmyplus\fR and \fVyourplus\fR are compiled into \fVlib_dir\fR with
the commands
.nf
save(lib_dir + '/myplus.bin', myplus)
save(lib_dir + '/yourplus.bin', yourplus)
.fi
A library can now be created from the two \fV.bin\fR files with the
command
.nf
xlib = lib(lib_path + '/')
.fi
\fVxlib\fR is a Scilab variable of type "library". A library variable
usually is saved for later loading, either on-line or from the
user-specific startup file (\fV$HOME/.scilab\fR).
.SH RESTRICTIONS
Scilab tacitly assumes that file \fVfoo.bin\fR defines only a single
function named \fVfoo\fR.
