List of Microsoft Windows-only functions

5 views (last 30 days)
We are in the process of porting our Matlab-based software from Windows to OSX and occasionally we have to write work-arounds for functions that only exist for Windows. Does anyone know if there is a full list of the functions that are specific to a single OS? Or, if you know of any functions specific to a single OS, or that have some functionality that is restricted, would you care to list them.
Here are a few that I know of that are Windows only:
  • print('-d format ',...) (Windows-only)
  • memory (Windows-only)

winopen()
xlsread() and xlswrite() except in -basic mode
some feature() commands
some video and audio codecs
differences in the command line startup options
robotics support packages
Kinect support
Data Acquisition Toolbox
differences in Image Acquisition support
HDL Coder, HDL Verifier (available on Linux though)
MATLAB Builder EX, MATLAB Builder NE
