Using the C Math Library

The MATLAB Built-In Library

The routines in the MATLAB Built-In Library fall into three categories:

• C callable versions of MATLAB built-in functions

Each Math Library built-in routine is named after its MATLAB equivalent. For example, the mlfTan function is the C callable version of the MATLAB built-in tan function.

• C routine versions of the MATLAB operators

For example, the C callable version of the MATLAB matrix multiplication operator (*) is the function named mlfMtimes().

• Routines that initialize and control how the library operates

These routines do not have a MATLAB equivalent. For example, there is no MATLAB equivalent for the mlfSetPrintHandler() routine.

Note    You can recognize routines in the Built-In and M-File libraries by the mlf prefix at the beginning of each function name.
