Purpose

Extract summary information about a DataSet.

Synopsis

[out1, out2,...] = getdatasource(dataset1, dataset2,...)

Description

The input(s) dataset1, dataset2,... are dataset objects. GETDATASOURCE returns structures containing useful summary information about each dataset object including the contents of the dataset fields: name, author, date, and moddate. Also returned in the structure is the size of the data field.

Inputs

  • dataset1 = first input dataset object

Optional Inputs

  • dataset2, ... = second (and so on) dataset objects

Outputs

  • out1 = structure containing information corresponding to dataset1 (and so on for out2 . . .)

Examples

  >> getdatasource(arch)

  ans = 

              name: 'arch'
              type: 'data'
            author: 'archeologist'
              date: [2001 5 11 11 19 45.250000000000000]
           moddate: [2002 5 17 8 52 58.170000000000002]
              size: [75 10]
      include_size: [75 10]
       description: [4x60 char]
