NAME

4     Mat_CreateVer, Mat_Create — Creates a MATLAB MAT file.
5

SYNOPSIS

7     #include <matio.h>
8
9     mat_t *
10     Mat_CreateVer(const char *matname, const char *hdr_str,
11         enum mat_ft mat_file_ver);
12
13     mat_t *
14     Mat_Create(const char *matname, const char *hdr_str);
15

DESCRIPTION

17     The Mat_CreateVer() function creates a MATLAB MAT file opened for write
18     access.  The hdr_str is a string written in the file header of MAT ver‐
19     sion 5 and 7.3 (HDF) files.  Only the first 128 bytes of the string is
20     written.  If hdr_str is NULL, then a default string is written that con‐
21     tains the platform, date, matio library version.
22
23     The mat_file_ver argument specifies the MAT file version to create.  The
24     matio library can write version 5 files (MAT_FT_MAT5), and an HDF5 file
25     format introduced in MATLAB version 7.3 (MAT_FT_MAT73).
26
27     The Mat_Create() function is equivalent to calling Mat_CreateVer() with
28     MAT_FT_DEFAULT as the file version.

EXAMPLES

31     #include <stdlib.h>
32     #include <stdio.h>
33     #include "matio.h"
34
35     int main(int argc,char **argv)
36     {
37         mat_t *matfp;
38
39         matfp = Mat_CreateVer(argv[1],NULL,MAT_FT_73);
40         if ( NULL == matfp ) {
41             fprintf(stderr,"Error creating MAT file %s0,argv[1]);
42             return EXIT_FAILURE;
43         }
44
45         Mat_Close(matfp);
46         return EXIT_SUCCESS;
