Using the MATLAB HDF Utility API
In addition to the standard HDF APIs, listed in Using HDF5 Data Type Objects, MATLAB supports utility functions that are designed to make using HDF in the MATLAB environment easier.
For example, the MATLAB HDF utility API includes a function, MLlistinfo
, that you can use to view all types of open HDF identifiers, such as HDF SD file identifiers. MATLAB updates these lists whenever HDF identifiers are created or closed.
This code obtains a list of all open HDF file and data set identifiers, using the MLlistinfo
function. In this example, only two identifiers are open:
hdfml('listinfo') No open RI identifiers No open GR identifiers No open grid identifiers No open grid file identifiers No open annotation identifiers No open AN identifiers Open scientific dataset identifiers: 262144 Open scientific data file identifiers: 393216 No open Vdata identifiers No open Vgroup identifiers No open Vfile identifiers No open point identifiers No open point file identifiers No open swath identifiers No open swath file identifiers No open access identifiers No open file identifiers
Closing All Open HDF Identifiers
To close all open HDF identifiers in a single call, use the MLcloseall
function. This call closes all open HDF identifiers:
