MAT_CREATEVER(3) BSD Library Functions Manual MAT_CREATEVER(3)NAME
Mat_CreateVer, Mat_Create — Create a MATLAB .mat file
SYNOPSIS
#include <matio.h>
mat_t *
Mat_CreateVer(const char *matname, const char *hdr_str,
enum mat_ft mat_file_ver);
mat_t *
Mat_Create(const char *matname, const char *hdr_str);
DESCRIPTION
The Mat_CreateVer() function creates a MATLAB .mat file opened for write
access. The hdr_str is a string written in the file header of MAT version
5 and 7.3 (HDF) files. Only the first 128 bytes of the string is writ‐
ten. If hdr_str is NULL, then a default string is written that contains
the platform, date, matio library version.
The mat_file_ver argument specifies the MAT file version to create. The
matio library can write version 5 files (MAT_FT_MAT5), and an HDF5 file
format introduced in MATLAB version 7.3 (MAT_FT_MAT73).
The Mat_Create() function is equivalent to calling Mat_CreateVer() with
MAT_FT_DEFAULT as the file version.
EXAMPLES
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include "matio.h"
int main(int argc,char **argv)
{
mat_t *matfp;
matfp = Mat_CreateVer(argv[1],NULL,MAT_FT_73);
if ( NULL == matfp ) {
fprintf(stderr,"Error creating MAT file %s0,argv[1]);
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
Mat_Close(matfp);
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
