.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm Mat_Rewind
.Nd Rewind an open .mat file to the beginning
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Fd #include <matio.h>
.Ft int
.Fo Mat_Rewind
.Fa "mat_t *matfp"
.Fc
.Sh DESCRIPTION
Rewinds an open .mat file so that
.Xr Mat_VarReadNext 3
or
.Xr Mat_VarReadNextInfo 3
reads the first variable in the file.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
The function returns 0 on success, or -1 on failure.
.Sh EXAMPLES
The following example shows a list of variables in the MAT file, and prompts the
user for the index of the variale to read. If the index is valid, the file is
reset to the beginning, and variables read until the selected index is reached.

            fprintf(stderr,"That is an invalid variable index!\n");
