cdflib.getReadOnlyMode

Read-only mode

Syntax

mode = cdflib.getReadOnlyMode(cdfId)

mode = cdflib.getReadOnlyMode(cdfId) returns the read-only mode of a Common Data Format (CDF) file.

cdfId

Identifier of a CDF file, returned by a call to cdflib.create or cdflib.open.

mode

One of the following character vectors or its numeric equivalent.

`'READONLYon'`	CDF is in read-only mode
`'READONLYoff'`	CDF can be modified.

To get the numeric equivalent of the constants specified by these character vectors, use cdflib.getConstantValue.

Open the example CDF file and determine its current read-only status:

cdfId = cdflib.open('example.cdf');

mode = cdflib.getReadOnlyMode(cdfId)

mode =

READONLYoff

% Clean up.
cdflib.close(cdfId);
clear cdfId

This function corresponds to the CDF library C API routine CDFgetReadOnlyMode.

To use this function, you must be familiar with the CDF C interface. Read the CDF documentation at the CDF website.
