MAT_VARREADNEXT(3) BSD Library Functions Manual MAT_VARREADNEXT(3)NAMEMat_VarReadNext — Reads the information and data for the next variable in
a MATLAB MAT file.
SYNOPSIS
#include <matio.h>
matvar_t *
Mat_VarReadNext(mat_t *mat);
DESCRIPTION
The Mat_VarReadNext() function reads the information and data 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_VarReadNext() to read each variable in the file.
For each variable read, the Mat_VarPrint(3) function is used to display
the information and data of the variable.
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include "matio.h"
int
main(int argc,char **argv)
{
mat_t *matfp;
matvar_t *matvar;
matfp = Mat_Open(argv[1],MAT_ACC_RDONLY);
if ( NULL == matfp ) {
fprintf(stderr,"Error opening MAT file %s0,argv[1]);
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
while ( NULL != (matvar = Mat_VarReadNext(matfp)) ) {
Mat_VarPrint(matvar,1);
Mat_VarFree(matvar);
}
Mat_Close(matfp);
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
