mexUnlock

Allow MEX-file to be cleared from memory

C Syntax

• #include "mex.h"
  void mexUnlock(void); 
  

Description

By default, MEX-files are unlocked, meaning that a user can clear them at any time. Calling mexLock locks a MEX-file so that it cannot be cleared. Calling mexUnlock removes the lock so that the MEX-file can be cleared.

mexLock increments a lock count. If you called mexLock n times, you must call mexUnlock n times to unlock your MEX-file.

Examples

See mexlock.c in the mex subdirectory of the examples directory.
