Description

This function links two buffers so that subsequent modifications in the source buffer are copied to the target buffer until the buffers are unlinked. For instance, when using the Distributed MIL monitoring configuration, you can link a publishing application's image buffer to the monitoring application's image buffer. Any modifications to the published buffer will be copied to the local buffer.

Note that this function reference has not been updated for a MIL system added during a MIL update. Refer to the MIL system's release note to see if there is complementary information.
