Using the C Math Library

Importing and Exporting Array Data

Introduction

The section describes how to:

• Write data to a MAT-file
• Read data from a MAT-file

A MAT-file is a binary, platform-independent file format that MATLAB uses to save workspace variables. Each MAT-file contains a machine signature in its file header. MATLAB reads this header and performs any conversions required by varying system architectures.

The MATLAB C Math Library functions mlfSave() and mlfLoad() implement the MATLAB load and save functions. You can use these routines to share data with MATLAB applications or with other applications developed with the MATLAB C++ or C Math Library.

Note    The mlfSave() and mlfLoad() routines do not implement all the variations of the MATLAB load and save syntax.
