ver - Version information for MathWorks products

GUI Alternatives

As an alternative to the ver function, select Help > About in any tool that has a Help menu.

Syntax

ver ver product v = ver('product')

Description

ver displays a header containing the current MathWorks product family version number, license number, operating system, and version of Sun Microsystems JVM software for the MATLAB product. This is followed by the version numbers for MATLAB, Simulink, if installed, and all other installed MathWorks products.

ver product displays the MathWorks product family header information followed by the current version number for product. The name product corresponds to the folder name that holds the Contents.m file for that product. For example, Contents.m for the Control System Toolbox product resides in the control folder. You therefore use ver control to obtain the version of this toolbox.

v = ver('product') returns the version information to structure array, v, having fields Name, Version, Release, and Date.

Remarks

To use ver with your own collection of files, see Providing a Help Summary for Your M-Files.

v = ver;
for k=1:length(v)
   if strfind(v(k).Name, 'Real-Time')
      disp(sprintf('%s, Version %s', ...
                    v(k).Name, v(k).Version))
   end
end
