Description

Parameters

FileName

Specifies the name and path of the file in which to save the blob context. It is recommended that you use the MBLOB file extension for easier use with other Matrox Imaging software products. The function internally handles the opening and closing of the file. If this file already exists, it will be overwritten.

This parameter should be set to the following value:

For specifying the file name and path
Value	Description
M_INTERACTIVE	[This is only applicable to Windows] Opens the File Save As dialog box from which you can interactively specify the drive, directory, and name of the file.
MIL_TEXT("FileName") 1	Specifies the drive, directory, and name of the file (for example, "C:\mydirectory\myfile"). Typically, blob contexts have a MBLOB file extension. 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) Specifies the drive, directory, and name of the file (for example, "C:\mydirectory\myfile"). (more details...)

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

ContextBlobId

Specifies the identifier of the blob context to save.

ControlFlag

Reserved for future expansion and must be set to M_DEFAULT.

Remark

The prototypes of functions in the Mblob module changed as of MIL 10 PP2. For C applications, by default the original prototypes are used to ensure backward-compatibility. To use the updated prototypes, add #define M_USE_OLD_MBLOB_API_IN_C 0 before including mil.h. For information about the original API for the Mblob module refer to the MIL 10 PP1 documentation, available online to registered users at https://www.matrox.com/imaging/en/products/software/mil/documentation/.
