cdflib.setStageCacheSize

Specify number of staging cache buffers for Common Data Format (CDF) file

Syntax

cdflib.setStageCacheSize(cdfId,numBuffers)

Description

cdflib.setStageCacheSize(cdfId,numBuffers) specifies the number of staging cache buffers for a Common Data Format (CDF) file. For information about CDF cache schemes, see the CDF User's Guide.

cdfId identifies the CDF file. numBuffers is a numeric value that specifies the number of buffers.

Examples

Open the example CDF file and specify the number of cache buffers used.

cdfId = cdflib.open("your_file.cdf");

% Get current number of staging cache buffers
size = cdflib.getStageCacheSize(cdfId)
size =

   125
% Specify new cache size value
cdflib.setStageCacheSize(cdfId, 200)

% Get size again
size = cdflib.getStageCacheSize(cdfId)
size =

   200
% Clean up
cdflib.close(cdfId)
clear cdfId
