Environment variable
getenv 'name'
N = getenv('name')
getenv 'name' searches
the underlying operating system environment list for text of the form name=value,
where name is the input character vector. If found, MATLAB® returns
the character vector value. If the specified name
cannot be found, an empty matrix is returned.
On UNIX® platforms, the shell you use to start MATLAB determines
the operating system environment. For example, starting MATLAB on
a Mac platform from the Applications folder
creates a different shell environment from starting MATLAB from
Terminal.
N = getenv('name') returns value to
the variable N.
os = getenv('OS')
os = Windows_NT
