cdflib.setReadOnlyMode - Specify read-only mode

Syntax

cdflib.setReadOnlyMode(cdfId,mode)

Description

cdflib.setReadOnlyMode(cdfId,mode) specifies the read-only mode of a Common Data Format (CDF) file.

After you open a CDF file, you can put the file into read-only mode to prevent accidental modification.

Input Arguments

cdfId

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

mode

Either of the following text strings or its numeric equivalent.

'READONLYon'CDF file is read-only
'READONLYoff'CDF file is modifiable.

To get the numeric equivalent of these mode values, use cdflib.getConstantValue.

Examples

Open the example CDF file and set the file to read-only mode.

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

% Set the  file to READONLY mode
cdflib.setReadOnlyMode(cdfId,'READONLYon')

% Check read-only status of file again.
mode = cdflib.getReadOnlyMode(cdfId)

mode =

READONLYon

% Clean up
cdflib.close(cdfId)
clear cdfId

This function corresponds to the CDF library C API routine CDFsetReadOnlyMode. To use these functions, you must be familiar with the CDF C interface. Read the CDF documentation at the CDF Web site. For copyright information, see the cdfcopyright.txt file.
