Ways of calling Emdros

There are a number of ways you can go about writing your application. Here are four of them:

1. Write your application in C++, interacting directly with the Emdros libraries.

2. Write your application in one of the scripting languages which Emdros supports through SWIG (currently Python, Perl, Ruby, and Java).

3. Interface via the mql(1) program as a command-line program, or via a system() call or the like.

4. Hook up the mql(1) program to a TCP/IP port using xinetd(8) or inetd(8), interacting with it as if it were a daemon.

We will look at each of these in turn.
