<matlab>/bin
The <matlab>/bin directory contains two files that are relevant for the
MATLAB API.
mex UNIX shell script that creates MEX-files from C or
Fortran MEX-file source code. See “Introducing
MEX-Files” on page 1-3 for more details on
mex.
matlab UNIX shell script that initializes your environment
and then invokes the MATLAB interpreter.
This directory also contains the preconfigured options files that the
mex script
uses with particular compilers. This table lists the options files.
<matlab>/extern/lib/$ARCH
The <matlab>/extern/lib/$ARCH directory contains libraries, where $ARCH
specifies a particular UNIX platform. On some UNIX platforms, this directory
contains two versions of this library. Library filenames ending with
.a are
static libraries and filenames ending with
.so or .sl are shared libraries.
