Is there a helper mex function for printing the contents of an mxArray?

I'm wondering if there is a helper mex function for printing the contents of an mxArray. Something similar to just typing a variable name in Matlab, e.g.:

>> A

A =

       1     2     3     4

Do you mean that you would like to call the DISP command from a MEX-function?

Well, no, I was wondering if there was any easy way to do it in C (or using a mex function that mimics DISP), but I suppose that using mexCallMATLAB (as suggested by James Tursa below) is a pretty good solution, too.

E.g., the code for Kaustubha's suggestion:

mxArray *myvariable;
// code to fill in myvariable here
mexCallMATLAB(0,NULL,1,&myvariable,"disp");

Of course I've voted for this: DISP is the most powerful helper function I can imagine.
