whosImpl

Class: Simulink.io.FileType
Package: Simulink.io

Determine contents of MAT-file associated with Simulink.io.FileType object

Syntax

signals = whosImpl(reader)


Description

signals = whosImpl(reader) returns a structure containing the contents of the MAT-file associated with the Simulink.io.FileType object.

Run-Time Details

whosImpl is called via whos when you run the application. For details, see Create Custom File Type for Import to Signal Editor.

Input Arguments

reader — Reader

Simulink.io.FileType object

Reader, specified as a Simulink.io.FileType object.

Output Arguments

signals — Contents of MAT-file

array of structures

Contents of the MAT-file, returned as an array of structures. This structure has a signal name ['char array'] and an optional signal type of a supported type. For more information on supported types, see Choose a Base Workspace and MAT-File Format.
