Calling MATLAB from C and Fortran Programs

The MATLAB engine library is a set of routines that allows you to call MATLAB from your own programs, thereby employing MATLAB as a computation engine. MATLAB engine programs are C or Fortran programs that communicate with a separate MATLAB process via pipes, on UNIX, and through a Component Object Model (COM) interface, on Windows. There is a library of functions provided with MATLAB that allows you to start and end the MATLAB process, send data to and from MATLAB, and send commands to be processed in MATLAB.
