Scilab Function

genlib - build library from all functions in given directory

### Calling Sequence

  `genlib(lib-name [,dir-name, [ force [,verbose]]])`

### Parameters

- `lib-name:` Scilab string. The variable name of the library to (re)create.
- `dir-name:` Scilab string. The name of the directory to look for `.bin` -files; default value is the current directory.
- `force,verbose` : boolean values (default values `%f` ).

### Description

For each `.sci` file in `dir-name` , `genlib` executes a `getf` and saves the functions to the corresponding `.bin` file. The `.sci` file must not contain anything but Scilab functions. If a `.bin` file is newer than the associated `.sci` file, `genlib` does not translate and save the file.

This default behaviour can be changed if `force` is given and set to `%t` . In this latter case the recompilation iis always performed for each `.sci` file.

When all `.sci` files have been processed, `genlib` creates a library variable named `lib-name` and saves it in the file `lib` in `dir-name` .

If `verbose` is et to `%t` informations are displayed during the build process.

### Restrictions

Scilab tacitly assumes that file `foo.sci` defines only a single function named `foo` .
