MATLAB Application Program Interface Reference

This function is obsolete; it should not appear in a MATLAB 5 program. To use this function, use the -V4 option of the mex script.

In MATLAB 5 you should call

#include "mat.h"
#include "matrix.h"
mxArray *matGetArray(MATFile *mfp, const char *name);
int mxGetString(const mxArray *array_ptr, char *buf, int buflen)

instead of

#include "mat.h"
int matGetString(
MATFile *mfp,
const char *name,
const char *str,
int strlen
);
