MAT_CREATEVER(3)

NAME
Mat_CreateVer, Mat_Create - Creates 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 written. 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 4 files (MAT_FT_MAT4), 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 %s, argv[1]);
            return EXIT_FAILURE;
        }
        Mat_Close(matfp);
        return EXIT_SUCCESS;
    }
