Mat_VarWrite - Man Page

#include <matio.h>

int
Mat_VarWrite(mat_t *matfp, matvar_t *matvar, enum matio_compression compress);

The Mat_VarWrite() function writes the MATLAB variable matvar to the MAT file matfp which must be opened for writing. If the MAT file is a version 5 or HDF5 MAT file, the compress option allows the variable to be written using zlib compression if available. If compression is not available, the variable is written uncompressed.

The function returns 0 if the variable was successfully written to the MAT file. Otherwise, an error value is returned.

This example program creates a MAT file named by the first argument to the program, and writes the variable named m_pi to the file.
