Overview :: MATLAB Interface to Generic DLLs (External Interfaces)

External Interfaces

Overview

C programs built into external, shared libraries are easily accessed by MATLAB through a command line interface. This interface gives you the ability to load an external library into MATLAB memory space and then access any of the functions defined therein. Although data types differ between the two language environments, in most cases you can pass MATLAB types to the C functions without having to do the work of conversion. MATLAB does this for you.

This interface also supports libraries containing functions programmed in languages other than C, provided that the functions have a C interface.
