Although the MATLAB product is a complete, self-contained environment for programming and manipulating data, it is often useful to interact with data and programs external to the MATLAB environment. MATLAB provides a C and Fortran API for programs written in these languages. You use the API functions in your programs and build them into binary MEX-files, which you call from the MATLAB command line.
