Synopsis
Restore a pattern matching model from disk.
Syntax
MIL_ID MpatRestore(
MIL_ID SystemId, //in
MIL_CONST_TEXT_PTR FileName, //in
MIL_ID *ModelIdPtr //out
)
Description

This function restores a model that was previously saved to a file, using MpatSave(). If the model was preprocessed before saving, you do not need to preprocess it again.

This function also restores all the model's search parameters that were in effect when the model was saved.

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.
Parameters
This function is not supported on the selected boards.
Parameters
SystemId

Specifies the system on which to restore the model.

This parameter should be set to one of the following values:

function map For specifying the system identifier
CollapseValue Description
Collapse M_DEFAULT_HOST

Specifies the default Host system of the current MIL application.
Collapse MIL system identifier

Specifies a valid system identifier, which you have allocated using the MsysAlloc() function.
FileName

Specifies the name and path of the file from which to restore the model. The function handles (internally) the opening and closing of the file.

This parameter can be set to one of the following:

function map For specifying the file name and path
CollapseValue Description
Collapse M_INTERACTIVE
[This is only applicable to Windows]

Opens the File Open dialog box from which you can interactively specify the drive, directory, and name of the file.
Collapse MIL_TEXT("FileName") 1

Specifies the drive, directory, and name of the file (for example, "C:\mydirectory\myfile").

To specify a file on a remote computer (under Distributed MIL), prefix the specified file name string with "remote:///" (for example, "remote:///C:\mydirectory\myfile").

(summarize)

1 If you are passing the value in a variable, don't enclose it in MIL_TEXT().

ModelIdPtr

Specifies the address of the variable in which to write the model identifier. Since the MpatRestore() function also returns the model identifier, you can set this parameter to M_NULL. If allocation fails, M_NULL is written as the identifier.

Return value
The returned value is the model identifier. If allocation fails, M_NULL is returned.
