Write data in binary form to the file specified by the file descriptor fid.

Syntax

• count = fwrite(fid, data)

• count = fwrite(fid, data, precision)

• count = fwrite(fid, data, precision, skip)

• count = fwrite(fid, data, precision, skip, arch)

• count = fwrite(fid, data, precision, arch)

Input argument

• fid - a file descriptor

• data - data to write

• precision - class of values to read

• skip - number of bytes to skip

• arch - a string specifying the data format for the file.

Output argument

Example

A = rand(3,1)

fileID = fopen([tempdir(), 'doubledata.bin'],'w');
fwrite(fileID, A,'double');
fclose(fileID);

fileID = fopen([tempdir(), 'doubledata.bin'],'r');
R = fread(fileID, 'double')
fclose(fileID);
