"boolean"

if object is a boolean matrix.

"list"

if object is a list.

"rational"

if object is a rational matrix (transfer matrix).

"state-space"

if object is a state-space model (see syslin).

"sparse"

if object is a (real) sparse matrix.

"boolean sparse"

if object is a boolean sparse matrix.

"hypermat"

if object is an hypermatrix (N-dimension array with N >=3).

"st"

if object is a structure array.

"ce"

if object is a cell array.

the first string in the first list entry

if object is a tlist or mlist.

"fptr"

if object is a Scilab intrinsic (C or Fortran code).

"pointer"

if object is a pointer (See lufact).

"size implicit"

if object is a size implicit polynom used for indexing.

"library"

if object is function library.

"int8" or "uint8" or "int16" or "uint16" or "int32" or "uint32"

if object is a matrix of [unsigned] integers stored on 8, 16 or 32 bits. See int8)
