Syntax

ver
ver toolbox
v = ver('toolbox')

Description

ver displays the current version numbers and release dates for MATLAB, Simulink, and all toolboxes.

ver toolbox displays the current version number and release date for the toolbox specified by toolbox. The name, toolbox, corresponds to the directory name that holds the Contents.m file for that toolbox. For example, Contents.m for the Fuzzy Logic Toolbox resides in the fuzzy directory. You therefore use ver fuzzy to obtain the version of this toolbox.

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

Remarks

See comments near the top of ver.m for information on how your own toolboxes can use the ver function. Type the following at the MATLAB command prompt.

type ver.m
