matGetVariableInfo

Load array header information only

Fortran Syntax

• integer*4 function matGetVariableInfo(mfp, name);
  integer*4 mfp
  character*(*) name
  

Arguments

mfp
   Pointer to MAT-file information.

name
   Name of mxArray.

Description

matGetVariableInfo loads only the array header information, including everything except pr, pi, ir, and jc. It recursively creates the cells/structures through their leaf elements, but does not include pr, pi, ir, and jc.

If pr, pi, ir, and jc are set to nonzero values when loaded with matGetVariable, matGetVariableInfo sets them to -1 instead. These headers are for informational use only and should never be passed back to MATLAB or saved to MAT-files.
