StartScilab — Initializes and starts Scilab engine in Call Scilab
BOOL StartScilab(char *SCIpath, char *ScilabStartup, int
*Stacksize);This fonction starts the Scilab engine. This is mandatory to use SendScilabJob functions and to manage Scilab's data.
BOOL is just a simple typedef on int (typedef int
BOOL). TRUE is defined on 1 (#define TRUE 1)
and FALSE is defined on 0 (#define FALSE 0).
a standard C char* containing the path to Scilab data
This argument is mandatory under Linux, Unix or Mac OS X.
Under Windows, if SCIpath is NULL, Scilab will find the path.
a standard C char* containing the path to Scilab startup script (scilab.start)
If ScilabStartup is NULL, Scilab will use the default path (detected from SCIpath).
a standard int* defining the size of the Scilab stack
If Stacksize is NULL, Scilab will use the default stacksize of Scilab.
1 (TRUE) if the operation is successfull.
0 (FALSE) if an error during initialization occured.
// A simple StartScilab example
if ( StartScilab(getenv("SCI"),NULL,NULL) == FALSE )
{
fprintf(stderr,"Error while calling StartScilab\n");
return -1;
