How to access subfunction headers with "help" command?

Hallo userbase,

for the following situation, is it possible to print the subfunction header to the command window using help?

function foo = myFunc(bar)
%MYFUNC
% A pointless function to demonstrate my question.
% @param  <bar> input var
% @return <foo> output var

foo = mySubFunc(bar);

end % END myFunc

function foo = mySubFunc(bar)
%MYFUNC.MYSUBFUNC
% Here is some information about my very important and refactored subfunction.

foo = bar + bar;

end % END mySubFunc

If I punch in help myFunc :

>> help myFunc
 myFunc
  A pointless function to demonstrate my question.
  @param  <bar> input var
  @return <foo> output var

But is there some way to access the subfunction header? Something like help myFunc.mySubFunc?

All the best, Marshall

I'm fairly sure you can't. The subfunction is private to the file it is in so it has no outside visibility and shouldn't need it either since it cannot be called from outside of its parent file.

Huh, that's weird. Thanks for the reply!

I really thought I read something somewhere, or had done something. Must have been dreaming in code again...

I guess you'd need to make it a comment for it to appear, just like the other comments appear:

% function foo = mySubFunc(bar)

"Something like help myFunc.mySubFunc?" &nbsp Yes, it's possible with R2013a (and earlier). Try

    >> help cssm>sub_cssm
      sub_cssm - subfunction of cssm

where

    function cssm

    end 
    function    sub_cssm
    % sub_cssm - subfunction of cssm
    end
