A C# binding for LibRed

Simple LibRed Binding for C#

This project allows the usage of Red programming language in C#. Currently it exists in it's simplest state--allowing users to directly call library functions. Review the documentation for LibRed to see the functions provided.

A more native interface is coming to use common C# types under the hood.

(Not yet Private) Interface

Review the documentation for LibRed. Until the public interface is made available, dll function calls are available by calling Red.[functionName](). These do not follow standard naming conventions in C#.

Public Interface

Until more features are developed, this is most useful for running Red code in a string or file

Initialize the Red runtime by calling Red.OpenRuntime(). Close it & free resources by calling Red.CloseRuntime().

Run Red code as a string (Red.Do(string redCode)) or a file (Red.DoFile(string filePath) - You must use Red conventions for the path of the file):

Red.Do("view [text {hello}]");  //This creates a new window with a textbox
Red.DoFile("/c/dev/red/demo.red");  //This runs the specified file

Method LibRed.Red.OpenRuntime

This must be called before calling Red Runtime functions


Method LibRed.Red.CloseRuntime

This closes the current runtime and cleans memory usage


Method LibRed.Red.Do(System.String)

This evaluates a string containing Red code and returns the last Red value

Name Description
redString: A string containing Red code
Returns: A Pointer the Red value that the string returns

Method LibRed.Red.DoFile(System.String)

This evaluates a string containing Red code and returns the last Red value

Name Description
filePath: The file path is formatted using Red OS-independent conventions (basically Unix-style).
Returns: A Pointer the Red value that the string returns
