Add memory allocation compatibility for Unix platform. #4

Closed m053m716 closed 5 years ago

Problem Matlab cannot perform dynamic memory allocation for the MatFile using Unix platform.

Solution Either a fixed "chunk size" that is easy to modify when creating DiskData, or some method that interacts with a system command to get the appropriate memory allocation on Unix platforms.

Context Nobody so far has used Mac to run this pipeline.

Preliminary update added using Mac OSX system control command, but unsure of format of returned command output (whether it will return a string or numeric value). Needs to be tested on a Mac device.

Bugfix was tested on Unix device and appears to be working correctly. Command output (number of bytes available) was returned as a string; after conversion to double code works as intended.
