cdflib.getReadOnlyMode - Read-only mode

Syntax

mode = cdflib.getReadOnlyMode(cdfId)

Description

mode = cdflib.getReadOnlyMode(cdfId) returns the read-only mode of a Common Data Format (CDF) file.

Input Arguments

cdfId

Identifier of a CDF file, returned by a call to cdflib.create or cdflib.open.

Output Arguments

mode

Either of the following text strings or its numeric equivalent.

'READONLYon'CDF is in read-only mode
'READONLYoff'CDF can be modified.

To get the numeric equivalent of these text strings, use cdflib.getConstantValue.

Examples

Open the example CDF file and determine its current read-only status:

cdfId = cdflib.open('example.cdf');

mode = cdflib.getReadOnlyMode(cdfId)

mode =

READONLYoff

% Clean up.
cdflib.close(cdfId);
clear cdfId
