mxGetClassName

Get class of mxArray as string

C Syntax

Arguments

array_ptr
   Pointer to an mxArray.

Returns

The class (as a string) of array_ptr.

Description

Call mxGetClassName to determine the class of an mxArray. The class of an mxArray identifies the kind of data the mxArray is holding. For example, if array_ptr points to a logical mxArray, then mxGetClassName returns logical.

mxGetClassID is similar to mxGetClassName, except that the former returns the class as an integer identifier and the latter returns the class as a string.

Examples

See mexfunction.c in the mex subdirectory of the examples directory. For an additional example, see mxisclass.c in the mx subdirectory of the examples directory.
