NAME¶
Mat_VarReadNextInfo —
Reads the information for the next variable in a
MATLAB MAT file.
SYNOPSIS¶
#include
<matio.h>
matvar_t *
Mat_VarReadNextInfo(
mat_t
*mat);
DESCRIPTION¶
The
Mat_VarReadNextInfo() function reads the
information for the next variable stored in the open MAT file.
RETURN VALUES¶
If there is another variable in the MAT file and is read successfully, a pointer
to the MATLAB variable structure is returned. If there are no more variables,
or there was an error reading the variable, NULL is returned.
EXAMPLES¶
This example program opens a MAT file named by the first argument to the
program, and uses
Mat_VarReadNextInfo() to
read the information about each variable in the file. For each variable
read,the name, size, and class are printed in a format similar to the MATLAB
whos command.
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include "matio.h"

"double","single","int8", "uint8","int16","uint16",
"int32","uint32","int64","uint64","function"
};
int
main(int argc,char **argv)
{
mat_t *matfp;
matvar_t *matvar;
size_t nbytes;
int i;
char size[32] = {' ',};
matfp = Mat_Open(argv[1],MAT_ACC_RDONLY);
if ( NULL == matfp ) {
fprintf(stderr,"Error opening MAT file %s0,argv[1]);
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
printf("%-20s %-10s %-10s %-18s0,"Name","Size","Bytes",

printf("%8d", matvar->dims[0]);
for ( i = 1; i < matvar->rank; i++ ) {
if ( ceil(log10(matvar->dims[i]))+1 < 32 )
cnt += sprintf(size+cnt,"x%d", matvar->dims[i]);
}
printf("%-10s",size);
} else {

}

return EXIT_SUCCESS;
