CTYPETHAW Convert C Struct to FreeMat Structure
Section: FreeMat External Interface
Usage
Thectypethaw function is used to convert a C structure that is
encoded in a byte array into a FreeMat structure using a C structure
typedef. To use the ctypethaw function, you must first define
the type of the C structure using the ctypedefine function. The
usage of ctypethaw is
mystruct = ctypethaw(byte_array, 'typename')
where byte_array is a uint8 array containing the bytes that encode
the C structure, and typename is a string that contains the type
description as registered with ctypedefine. If you want to
retrieve multiple structures from a single byte array, you can specify
a count as
mystruct = ctypethaw(byte_array, 'typename', count)
where count is an integer containing the number of structures to
retrieve. Sometimes it is also useful to retrieve only part of the
structure from a byte array, and then (based on the contents of the
structure) retrieve more data. In this case, you can retrieve the
residual byte array using the optional second output argument of
ctypethaw:
[mystruct,byte_array_remaining] = ctypethaw(byte_array, 'typename',...)
