So I noticed in passing in some erlang-question posting in the last few weeks that one of these was deprecated in favor of the other. <br><br>But now that I'm looking at the documentation I can't figure out which one is which, nor would I even look for ei_connect I hadn't seen the message that mentioned it.<br>
<br>If you open the erl_interface application tab in the documentation, you're pointed at the erl_connect documentation by default. You must open the EI Connect Library Reference to find ei_connect. If you read the Interoperability Tutorial, it explains how to use erl_connect. You need to go to the otp sources, lib/erl_connect/src/, to find out that ei_connect.c is in the connect/ directory and erl_connect.c is in the legacy/ directory.<br>
