Generally speaking, the user program will have little need to
modify the contents of the APICP
structure returned by
openapicp()
. If the user wishes to permanently modify one or more
of the default parameters it is far easier to directly edit and
recompile the api3.c
file.
The user eqedit
and eqedit2
functions are intended for those
applications that wish to process the results of the command
line/thesaurus lookup process before the remainder of the
open/setmmapi()
processing occurs. This has a similar role to the
`EDIT"` knob inside the Metamorph user interface. For more
information see the
openmmapi()
and setmmapi()
documentation.
