Thread: Setting/Accessing Internal data

Setting/Accessing Internal data

From
"Roberto M."
Date:
If I was to write a c program and wished to set and access an
internal variable as a flag for my program so that I can read it
in or set it?  I have been researching for days now and I have
come across nothing that helps only knowledge that it is
possible.

Thank you
Roberto M.

It isn't clear to me exactly what you are trying to do. Can you give a
more concrete contrived example?

Also, take a look at the directories under contrib/ -- they are full of
good examples of how to write C language user defined functions.

And finally, look at the manual:
