matlab::engine::connectMATLAB

Connect to shared MATLAB session synchronously

Description

std::unique_ptr<MATLABEngine> connectMATLAB()

std::unique_ptr<MATLABEngine> connectMATLAB(const matlab::engine::String& name)

Connect synchronously to a shared MATLAB^® session on the local machine.

If you specify the name of a shared MATLAB session, but the engine cannot find a session with that name, the engine throws an exception.
If you do not specify a name and there is no shared MATLAB session available, the engine starts a new shared MATLAB session. The MATLAB desktop is not started.
If you do not specify a name and there are shared MATLAB sessions available, the engine connects to the first available session.

Namespace:	`matlab::engine`
Include	`MatlabEngine.hpp`

const matlab::engine::String& name

Name of the shared MATLAB session

std::unique_ptr<MATLABEngine>

Pointer to a MATLABEngine object

matlab::engine::EngineException

Throws exception if function fails to connect to the specified MATLAB session.

Connect to a shared MATLAB session named my_matlab.

std::unique_ptr<MATLABEngine> matlabPrt = connectMATLAB(u"my_matlab");
