MAT_CREATEVER(3)      DragonFly Library Functions Manual      MAT_CREATEVER(3)

NAME
     Mat_CreateVer, Mat_Create - Create a MATLAB .mat file

SYNOPSIS
     #include <matio.h>

     mat_t *
     Mat_CreateVer(const char *matname, const char *hdr_str,
         enum mat_ft mat_file_ver);

     mat_t *
     Mat_Create(const char *matname, const char *hdr_str);

DESCRIPTION
     The Mat_CreateVer() function creates a MATLAB .mat file opened for write
     access. The hdr_str is a string written in the file header of MAT version
     5 and 7.3 (HDF) files.  Only the first 128 bytes of the string is
     written. If hdr_str is NULL, then a default string is written that
     contains the platform, date, matio library version.

     The mat_file_ver argument specifies the MAT file version to create. The
     matio library can write version 5 files (MAT_FT_MAT5), and an HDF5 file
     format introduced in MATLAB version 7.3 (MAT_FT_MAT73).

     The Mat_Create() function is equivalent to calling Mat_CreateVer() with
     MAT_FT_DEFAULT as the file version.

EXAMPLES
     #include <stdlib.h>
     #include <stdio.h>
     #include "matio.h"

     int main(int argc,char **argv)
     {
         mat_t *matfp;

         matfp = Mat_CreateVer(argv[1],NULL,MAT_FT_73);
         if ( NULL == matfp ) {
             fprintf(stderr,"Error creating MAT file %s0,argv[1]);
             return EXIT_FAILURE;
         }

         Mat_Close(matfp);
         return EXIT_SUCCESS;
     }
