Mat_VarReadInfo - Man Page

#include <matio.h>

matvar_t *
Mat_VarReadInfo(mat_t *matfp, const char *name);

The Mat_VarReadInfo() function reads the information for the variable name in the open MAT file.

If the variable was found in the MAT file and the information about the variable successfully read, a pointer to the MATLAB variable structure is returned. If the variable was not found, or there was an error reading the variable information, NULL is returned.

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