◆ touch()

function touch ( )

Return the contents of the .bash_profile file in the system home folder as a scalar MATLAB string.

If the file does not exist, create it.
If the file does not contain the Bash command to source the contents of the .bashrc file, then add it to the .bash_profile and return its contents.

Returns: str : The output scalar MATLAB string containing the contents of the .bash_profile.

Possible calling interfaces ⛓

: str = pm.sys.bash_profile.touch()

Example usage ⛓

: 1cd(fileparts(mfilename('fullpath'))); % Change working directory to source code directory.

2addpath('../../../../'); % Add the ParaMonte library root directory to the search path.

3

5pm.matlab.show('linelist = split(pm.sys.bash_profile.touch(), newline);')

6 linelist = split(pm.sys.bash_profile.touch(), newline);

7pm.matlab.show('linelist(1:min(2, length(linelist)))') % Show only the first two lines for privacy reasons.

8pm.matlab.show( linelist(1:min(2, length(linelist))) )

root
function root()
Return a scalar MATLAB string containing the root directory of the ParaMonte library package.
