target.API Class

Namespace: target

Describe API details

Since R2020b

Description

An API defines a set of entry-point functions for interaction with a software application or service. Use a target.API object to provide API details for target definition. Use this class with target.APIImplementation to describe how an API is used and built on target hardware.

To create a target.API object, use the target.create function.

Examples

Describe rtiostream C API

This example provides implementation details for the rtiostream C API.

apiImp = target.create('APIImplementation', 'Name', ...
                       'x86 rtiostream Implementation');
apiImp.API = target.create('API', 'Name', 'rtiostream');
apiImp.BuildDependencies = target.create('BuildDependencies');
apiImp.BuildDependencies.SourceFiles = ...
      {fullfile('$(MATLAB_ROOT)', 'toolbox', ...
                'coder', 'rtiostream','src', ...
                'rtiostreamtcpip', 'rtiostream_tcpip.c')};
apiImp.MainFunction = target.create('MainFunction', ...
                      'Name', 'TCP RtIOStream Main');
apiImp.MainFunction.Arguments = {'-blocking', '1', '-port', '0'};
