Mat_VarReadNextInfo(3) Library Functions Manual Mat_VarReadNextInfo(3)
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 *matfp);
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.
