Algorithm (Workflow)

This function retrieves the current user's name and the host's name using Java methods in MATLAB. It also allows for optional date formatting based on input parameters.

Input Parameters

varargin: Optional input that can specify a date format tag.

Output Results

user: The user name, potentially appended with a date string.
host: The host name of the machine.

Algorithm Steps

Retrieve the user name using Java's System.getProperty('user.name').
Retrieve the host name using Java's InetAddress.getLocalHost.getHostName.
Call getfuncparams to obtain the datetag from varargin.
Use a switch statement to handle different datetag values:

Case '': No action is taken.
Case 'roman': Append the user name with the current date in Roman numeral format using datestrroman(now).
Case {'std','arab','normal','yyyy'}: Append the user name with the current date in the format 'yyyy-mm-dd' using datestr(clock,29).
Otherwise: Append the user name with the current date using the format specified by datetag.

If no output arguments are specified, print the host name using dbprintf.
