Return information on functions in shared C library

collapse all in page

Syntax

libfunctions libname
m = libfunctions(libname)
m = libfunctions(libname,'-full')

Description

Note

The recommended way to call functions in C and C++ libraries is to create a MATLAB® interface to the library. For more information, see Call C/C++ from MATLAB. (since R2022a)

libfunctions libname displays names of functions defined in C library libname. If you called loadlibrary using the alias option, then you must use the alias name for the libname argument.

m = libfunctions(libname) returns names of functions in cell array m.

m = libfunctions(libname,'-full') returns function signatures.
