 DEFCMD (load, args, nargout,

   "-*- texinfo -*-\n\

 @deffn {Command} load options file v1 v2 @dots{}\n\

 Load the named variables @var{v1}, @var{v2}, @dots{}, from the file\n\

 @var{file}.  As with @code{save}, you may specify a list of variables\n\

 and @code{load} will only extract those variables with names that\n\

 match.  For example, to restore the variables saved in the file\n\

 @file{data}, use the command\n\

 \n\

 @example\n\

 load data\n\

 @end example\n\

 \n\

 If load is invoked using the functional form\n\

 \n\

 @example\n\

 load (\"-option1\", @dots{}, \"file\", \"v1\", @dots{})\n\

 @end example\n\

 \n\

 @noindent\n\

 then the @var{options}, @var{file}, and variable name arguments\n\

 (@var{v1}, @dots{}) must be specified as character strings.\n\

 \n\

 If a variable that is not marked as global is loaded from a file when a\n\

 global symbol with the same name already exists, it is loaded in the\n\

 global symbol table.  Also, if a variable is marked as global in a file\n\

 and a local symbol exists, the local symbol is moved to the global\n\

 symbol table and given the value from the file.  Since it seems that\n\

 both of these cases are likely to be the result of some sort of error,\n\

 they will generate warnings.\n\

 \n\

 If invoked with a single output argument, Octave returns data instead\n\

 of inserting variables in the symbol table.  If the data file contains\n\

 only numbers (TAB- or space-delimited columns), a matrix of values is\n\

 returned.  Otherwise, @code{load} returns a structure with members\n\

  corresponding to the names of the variables in the file.\n\

 \n\

 The @code{load} command can read data stored in Octave's text and\n\

 binary formats, and @sc{Matlab}'s binary format.  It will automatically\n\

 detect the type of file and do conversion from different floating point\n\

 formats (currently only IEEE big and little endian, though other formats\n\

 may added in the future).\n\

 \n\

 Valid options for @code{load} are listed in the following table.\n\

 \n\

 @table @code\n\

 @item -force\n\

 The @samp{-force} option is accepted but ignored for backward\n\

 compatibility. Octave now overwrites variables currently in memory with\n\

 the same name as those found in the file.\n\

 \n\

 @item -ascii\n\

 Force Octave to assume the file contains columns of numbers in text format\n\

 without any header or other information.  Data in the file will be loaded\n\

 as a single numeric matrix with the name of the variable derived from the\n\

 name of the file.\n\

 \n\

 @item -binary\n\

 Force Octave to assume the file is in Octave's binary format.\n\

 \n\

 @item -mat\n\

 @itemx -mat-binary\n\

 @itemx -6\n\

 @itemx -v6\n\

 @itemx -7\n\

 @itemx -v7\n\

 Force Octave to assume the file is in @sc{Matlab}'s version 6 or 7 binary\n\

 format.\n\

 \n\

 @item -V4\n\

 @itemx -v4\n\

 @itemx -4\n\

 @itemx -mat4-binary\n\

 Force Octave to assume the file is in the binary format written by\n\

 @sc{Matlab} version 4.\n\

 \n\

 @item -hdf5\n\

 Force Octave to assume the file is in HDF5 format.\n\

 (HDF5 is a free, portable binary format developed by the National\n\

 Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois.)\n\

 Note that Octave can read HDF5 files not created by itself, but may\n\

 skip some datasets in formats that it cannot support.\n"

 HAVE_HDF5_HELP_STRING

 "\n\

 @item -import\n\

 The @samp{-import} is accepted but ignored for backward compatibility.\n\

 Octave can now support multi-dimensional HDF data and automatically\n\

 modifies variable names if they are invalid Octave identifiers.\n\

 \n\

 @item -text\n\

 Save the data in Octave's binary data format.\n\

 \n\

 @item -float-binary\n\

 Save the data in Octave's binary data format but only using single\n\

 precision.  You should use this format only if you know that all the\n\

 values to be saved can be represented in single precision.\n\

 \n\

 @item -V7\n\

 @itemx -v7\n\

 @itemx -7\n\

 @itemx -mat7-binary\n\

 Save the data in @sc{Matlab}'s v7 binary data format.\n"

 HAVE_ZLIB_HELP_STRING

 "\n\

 @item -V6\n\

 @itemx -v6\n\

 @itemx -6\n\

 @itemx -mat\n\

 @itemx -mat-binary\n\

 Save the data in @sc{Matlab}'s v6 binary data format.\n\

 \n\

 @item -V4\n\

 @itemx -v4\n\

 @itemx -4\n\

 @itemx -mat4-binary\n\

 Save the data in the binary format written by @sc{Matlab} version 4.\n\

 \n\

 @item -hdf5\n\

 Save the data in HDF5 format.\n\

 (HDF5 is a free, portable binary format developed by the National\n\

 Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois.)\n"

 HAVE_HDF5_HELP_STRING

 "\n\

 @item -float-hdf5\n\

 Save the data in HDF5 format but only using single precision.\n\

 You should use this format only if you know that all the\n\

 values to be saved can be represented in single precision.\n\

 \n\

 @item -zip\n\

 @itemx -z\n\

 Use the gzip algorithm to compress the file. This works equally on files that\n\

 are compressed with gzip outside of octave, and gzip can equally be used to\n\

 convert the files for backward compatibility.\n"

 HAVE_ZLIB_HELP_STRING

 "@end table\n\

 \n\

 The list of variables to save may include wildcard patterns containing\n\

 the following special characters:\n\

 @table @code\n\

 @item ?\n\

 Match any single character.\n\

 \n\

 @item *\n\

 Match zero or more characters.\n\

 \n\

 @item [ @var{list} ]\n\

 Match the list of characters specified by @var{list}.  If the first\n\

 character is @code{!} or @code{^}, match all characters except those\n\

 specified by @var{list}.  For example, the pattern @samp{[a-zA-Z]} will\n\

 match all lower and upper case alphabetic characters. \n\

 \n\

 @item -text\n\

 Save the data in Octave's text data format.\n\

 @end table\n\

 \n\

 Except when using the @sc{Matlab} binary data file format, saving global\n\

 variables also saves the global status of the variable, so that if it is\n\

 restored at a later time using @samp{load}, it will be restored as a\n\

 global variable.\n\

 \n\

 The command\n\

 \n\

 @example\n\

 save -binary data a b*\n\

 @end example\n\

 \n\

 @noindent\n\

 saves the variable @samp{a} and all variables beginning with @samp{b} to\n\

 the file @file{data} in Octave's binary format.\n\
