These are the functions needed to embed ECLⁱPS^e into a C main program.

int ec_set_option_long(int, long)

Set the value of a numerical option (see appendix A). The numerical value can be of type long.

int ec_set_option_ptr(int, char *)

Set the value of a string-valued option (see appendix A).

int ec_init()

Initialise the ECLⁱPS^e engine. This is required before any other functions of this interface (except option setting) can be used.

int ec_cleanup()

Shutdown the ECLⁱPS^e engine.
