The ClosestLinePointPosition function calculates position of a point lying on a specified line closest to a specified point.

float ClosestLinePointPosition
         (
         const float RP0[ 3 ],
         const float RP1[ 3 ],
         const float P[ 3 ]
         );

double ClosestLinePointPosition
         (
         const double RP0[ 3 ],
         const double RP1[ 3 ],
         const double P[ 3 ]
         );

Parameters

RP0	x,y,z coordinates of first point defining the line
RP1	x,y,z coordinates of second point defining the line
P	x,y,z coordinates of the point for which the function finds the closest line-point.

Return Value

The function returns position of a point lying on the specified line closest to the specified point. The returned position value can be translated to the point coordinates using the LinePositionToPoint function.
