MyStandardIn

Reads text input. This is how you would define your input function if you were to name it MyStandardIn:

SInt32 MyStandardIn (JMSessionRef session,
                                         char* buffer, 
                                         SInt32 maxBufferLength);

session

The session to receive the text input.

buffer

The buffer to hold the input.

maxBufferLength

The maximum length allowed by the buffer.

function result

The number of characters actually read (up to maxBufferLength) or -1 if an error occurred.

DISCUSSION

When invoking the Java runtime environment using JMOpenSession, you must designate a callback function to direct any console input to the session.
