MATLAB中读写、处理科学数据文件格式NETCDF的程序

function theResult = unsigned(self, isUnsigned)

% ncitem/unsigned -- Set/get unsigned flag.
%  unsigned(self) returns TRUE if the "unsigned" flag
%   has been set to interpret NetCDF signed integer data
%   as unsigned.  This flag does not affect the contents
%   of the NetCDF file itself.  Only bytes, shorts, and
%   longs are allowed to be unsigned.
%  unsigned(self, isUnsigned) sets the "unsigned" flag
%   according to the "isUnsigned" argument: 1 or 0.
