The IDL RPC Library

The IDL RPC library contains several C language interface functions that facilitate communication between your application and IDL. There are functions to register and unregister clients, set timeouts, get and set the value of IDL variables, send commands to the IDL server, and cause the server to exit. These functions are:


IDL_RPCCleanup	IDL_RPCSetMainVariable
IDL_RPCDeltmp	IDL_RPCSetVariable
IDL_RPCExecuteStr	IDL_RPCStoreScalar
IDL_RPCGetMainVariable	IDL_RPCStrDelete
IDL_RPCGettmp	IDL_RPCStrDup
IDL_RPCGetVariable	IDL_RPCStrEnsureLength
IDL_RPCImportArray	IDL_RPCStrStore
IDL_RPCInit	IDL_RPCTimeout
IDL_RPCMakeArray	IDL_RPCVarCopy
IDL_RPCOutputCapture	IDL_RPCVarGetData
IDL_RPCOutputGetStr	Variable Accessor Macros
