matGetFp (C)

Get file pointer to MAT-file

C Syntax

#include "mat.h"
FILE *matGetFp(MATFile *mfp);

Arguments

mfp

Pointer to MAT-file information

Returns

A C file handle to the MAT-file with handle mfp. Returns NULL if mfp is a handle to a MAT-file in HDF5-based format.

Description

Use matGetFp to obtain a C file handle to a MAT-file. This can be useful for using standard C library routines like ferror and feof to investigate error situations.

Examples

See matcreat.c and matdgns.c in the eng_mat subdirectory of the examples directory for sample programs that illustrate how to use the MATLAB^® MAT-file routines in a C program.
