This page describes an example of how to call liboctave functions from a Fortran program.
In the example we will load an Octave array from a file in Octave's native ASCII format,
In the example we will load a single matrix, stored in ASCII format, from a data file.
it consists of two steps:
It consists of two steps:


* write a C++ function with a C compatible interface and C linkage that reads a variable from an Octave ASCII file
# write a C++ function with a C compatible interface and C linkage that reads a variable from an Octave ASCII file
* write Fortran code using the "iso_c_binding" intrinsic module to call the C++ function
# write Fortran code using the "iso_c_binding" intrinsic module to call the C++ function

  mkoctfile -I. --mkoctfile --link-stand-alone octave_file_io_example.f90 octave_file_io.o -o octave_file_io_example

If you receive errors about missing libraries, make sure your <code>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code> is set correctly to find all Octave libraries, e.g.
 
$ ldd ./octave_file_io_example.exe
...
        libgfortran.so.4 => /usr/lib64/libgfortran.so.4 (0x00007fe9eb62b000)
        liboctinterp.so.8 => not found
        liboctave.so.8 => not found
...
 
Then find {{Path|liboctinterp.so.8}} and {{Path|liboctave.so.8}} on your system and type
 
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/path/to/lib/octave/{{Release}}/
