MATLAB Function Reference

munlock

Allow M-file clearing

Syntax

• munlock
  munlock fun
  munlock('fun')
  

Description

munlock unlocks the currently running M-file in memory so that subsequent clear functions can remove it.

munlock fun unlocks the M-file named fun from memory. By default, M-files are unlocked so that changes to the M-file are picked up. Calls to munlock are needed only to unlock M-files that have been locked with mlock.

munlock('fun') is the function form of munlock.

Examples

The function testfun begins with an mlock statement.

• function testfun
  mlock
    .
    .
  

When you execute this function, it becomes locked in memory. This can be checked using the mislocked function.

• testfun
  
  mislocked testfun
  ans =
       1
  

Using munlock, you unlock the testfun function in memory. Checking its status with mislocked shows that it is indeed unlocked at this point.

• munlock testfun
  
  mislocked testfun
  ans =
       0
