Oct File Access Array Elements

[Thomas D. Dean]

I have an application that calls a C library function to get a list of 
values.  These values are uint8_t.  The function call seems to work OK, 
but, I am having problems getting the data back to octave.

   A = mufunc()

After reading the source code and the docs, I believe

        dim_vector dv(1, 2);
        dv(0) = 1;
        dv(1) = 2048;
        uint8NDArray out(dv);

is the best definition to do this.

The code that reads the device and returns values to octave is:

        OCTAVE_LOCAL_BUFFER (double, dev_dat, 2048)
        rc = read_dev(dev, dev_dat)
        copy data into out  --- how?
        ...
        return octave_value(out);


How do I either use the array out in the call to read_dev or iterate and 
copy the values from dev_dat into out?

How do I assign values to members of the uint8NDArray out?

Or, better, how do I pass the uint8NDArray into the call to read_dev()?
