Function Alternative for Checking Out Files

Use checkout to check a file out of the source control system. You can check out multiple files at once and specify check-out options. The checkout function has this form.

checkout({'file1',...'filen'},'option','value')

For file, use the complete path.

Use the option argument to:

• Check out a read-only version of the file - set the lock option to off.
• Check out the file even if you already have it checked out - set the force option to on.
• Check out a specific revision of the file - use the revision option, and assign the revision number to the value argument.

The options apply to all files checked out. The file can be open or closed when you use checkout.

Example - Check out a Specific Revision of a File

To check out the 1.1 revision of the file clock.m, type

checkout('\matlab\mymfiles\clock.m', 'revision', '1.1')

For other examples, see the reference page for checkout.
