6.3.1.0.4 Description of the output of Scilab function

The first line of this description must begin by the word out followed by the type of Scilab output.

Types of output are:

empty

the Scilab function returns nothing.

list

a Scilab list: must be followed by the names of Scilab variables which form the list.

sequence

a Scilab sequence: must be followed by the names of Scilab variables elements of the sequence. This is the usual case.

This first line must be followed by other lines corresponding to output type conversion. This is the case when an output variable is also an input variable with different Scilab type: for instance an input column vector becomes an output row vector. The line which describes this conversion begins by the name of Scilab output variable followed by the name of the corresponding Scilab input variable. See 6.3.1 as an example.

A line beginning with a star ``*'' ends the description of a pair of Scilab function and Fortran subroutine. This line is compulsory even if it is the end of the file. Do not forget to end the file by a carriage return.
