docopt (MATLAB Function Reference)

Display location of help file directory for UNIX platforms

Syntax

docopt
[doccmd,options,docpath]=docopt

Description

docopt

displays the location of the online help file directory. It is used for UNIX platforms only. (For the PC, select Preferences from the File menu to view or change the online help file directory location.) You specify where the online help information will be located when you install MATLAB. It can be on a disk or CD-ROM in your local system. If you relocate your online help file directory, edit the docopt.m file, changing the location in it.

[doccmd,options,docpath]=docopt

displays three strings: doccmd, options, and docpath.


`doccmd`	The command that `doc` uses to display MATLAB documentation. The default is `netscape`.
`options`	Additional configuration options for use with `doccmd`.
`docpath`	The path to the MATLAB online help files. If `docpath` is empty, the DOC command assumes the help files are in the default location.

Remarks

To globally replace the online help file directory location, update $MATLAB/toolbox/local/docopt.m.

To override the global setting, copy $MATLAB/toolbox/local/docopt.m to $HOME/matlab/docopt.m and make changes there. For the changes to take effect in the current MATLAB session, $HOME/matlab must be on your MATLAB path.
