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, PHP, Ruby, Java, and C#/.Net).

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.
