isdeployed

Determine whether code is running in deployed or MATLAB mode

Syntax

x = isdeployed

Description

x = isdeployed returns logical 1 (true) when the function is running in deployed mode using MATLAB^® Runtime and 0 (false) if it is running in a MATLAB session.

An application running in deployed mode consists of a collection of MATLAB functions and data packaged using MATLAB Compiler™ into a standalone executable or shared library that runs outside of a MATLAB session using MATLAB Runtime libraries.

Examples

Protect Use of ADDPATH

The path of a deployed application is fixed at compile time and cannot change. Use isdeployed to ensure that the application uses addpath before deployment.

if ~(ismcc || isdeployed)
    addpath(mypath);
end

Send Data to Printer

Deployed applications must use deployprint, rather than print, to send data to a printer.

if ~isdeployed
    print
else 
   deployprint
end

Display Documentation

You cannot use the doc function to open the Help browser from a deployed application. Instead, redirect a help query to the MathWorks^® website.

if ~isdeployed
    doc(mfile);
else 
   web('https://www.mathworks.com/support.html');
end

Extended Capabilities

C/C++ Code Generation

Generate C and C++ code using MATLAB® Coder™.

Usage notes and limitations:

• Returns true and false as appropriate for MEX targets.

• Returns false for SIM targets, which you should query using coder.target (MATLAB Coder).

• Returns false for other targets.
