    Use the programmatic interface to find model elements that are related to the code mappings.

    To interactively observe how your commands are reflected in the Code Mappings editor, make sure the Code Mappings editor is open with the Inports tab selected. To learn how to open the Code Mappings editor, see Open the Code Mappings Editor – C.

    Open the model CoderMapAPI.

    simulinkModel = "CoderMapAPI";
open_system(simulinkModel);

    Retrieve the code mappings object of this model.

    codeMapObj = coder.mapping.api.get(simulinkModel);

    Find input port handles of ports with ImportedExtern storage class and input ports with ImportedExternPointer storage class.

    importedExternInportHandles = find(codeMapObj,"Inports",StorageClass="ImportedExtern")'
    importedExternInportHandles = 2×1

  154.0031
  156.0033


    importedExternPointerInportHandles = find(codeMapObj,"Inports",StorageClass="ImportedExternPointer")'
    importedExternPointerInportHandles = 2×1

  158.0029
  160.0020

    Get the names of the input ports.

    importedExterInportNames = string(get_param(importedExternInportHandles,"Name"))
    importedExterInportNames = 2x1 string
    "in_port_1"
    "in_port_2"


    importedExternPointerInportNames = string(get_param(importedExternPointerInportHandles,"Name"))
    importedExternPointerInportNames = 2x1 string
    "in_port_3"
    "in_port_4"

    Generate code from the model.

    evalc("slbuild(simulinkModel)");

    Root-level ports with ImportedExtern and ImportedExternPointer storage classes are declared in the generated private header file of the model in separate sections.

    Store the name of the private header file.

    priv_h_file = fullfile(simulinkModel+"_grt_rtw",simulinkModel+"_private.h")
    priv_h_file = 
"CoderMapAPI_grt_rtw/CoderMapAPI_private.h"

    These are the declarations of the root-level ports in the header file:

    /* Imported (extern) block signals */
extern real_T in_port_1;               /* '<Root>/in_port_1' */
extern real_T in_port_2;               /* '<Root>/in_port_2' */

/* Imported (extern) pointer block signals */
extern real_T *in_port_3;              /* '<Root>/in_port_3' */
extern real_T *in_port_4;              /* '<Root>/in_port_4' */

    The storage classes of the ports match the storage classes passed to the find function.

    To open the header file, enter this command in the MATLAB® Command Window.

    edit(priv_h_file)

    To see the ImportedExtern inports highlighted in the model canvas and in the Code Mappings editor, enter this command:

    arrayfun(@(pHandle) set_param(pHandle,Selected="on"),importedExternInportHandles);
    Open Live Script

    Use the programmatic interface to find entry-point functions with function customization templates mapped to the model default, and remap templates to the default customization template.

    To interactively observe how your commands are reflected in the Code Mappings editor, make sure the Code Mappings editor is open with the Functions tab selected. To learn how to open the Code Mappings editor, see Open the Code Mappings Editor – C.

    Open the model ECoderMapAPI.

    simulinkModel = "ECoderMapAPI";
open_system(simulinkModel);

    Retrieve the code mappings object of the model. 

    codeMapObj = coder.mapping.api.get(simulinkModel);

    Use the code mappings object to find all entry-point functions with function customization template mapped to the model default. Then display the names of the functions you found.

    funcObjs = find(codeMapObj,"Functions",FunctionCustomizationTemplate="Model default");
disp(funcObjs')
        "Initialize"
    "Terminate"
    "Periodic:D1"

    Map the function customization template of the functions you found to Default.

    setFunction(codeMapObj,funcObjs,FunctionCustomizationTemplate="Default");

    Use the find function to test if there are any entry-point functions with customization template mapped to the model default. You should get an empty list.

    find(codeMapObj,"Functions",FunctionCustomizationTemplate="Model default")
    ans = 

  0x0 empty string array

    Map the function customization template of the functions you found back to model default.

    setFunction(codeMapObj,funcObjs,FunctionCustomizationTemplate="Model Default");
