get_function_path

Arguments

fun_name

a string, the name of the function

path

a vector of strings containing:

• absolute pathname of the function source file (.sci)
• "<script>" if fun_name is an user-defined function written in Scilab language executed in Scilab's console.
• "<moduleName>" if fun_name is a builtin function (so-called Scilab primitive)
• Otherwise: [].

Description

Given the name of a function get_function_path returns a vector containing

• the absolute pathname of the function source file if the function is defined in a Scilab library (see lib)
• "<script>" if the function is an user-defined function executed in the console
• "<moduleName>" if the function is a builtin written and compiled in an external language (C, C++..)

get_function_path returns [] if fun_name does not match any library function.

Examples

get_function_path('median')
