Suppose I have a file named myclass.m with the following content:

classdef myclass < handle
end


On MATLAB, which('myclass') returns the path, but on Octave it returns "built-in function".

MATLAB output:

>> obj = myclass

obj =

  myclass with no properties.

>> which('myclass')
/my/path/myclass.m  % myclass constructor


Octave output:

octave:1> obj = myclass
obj =

  myclass object with properties:


octave:2> which('myclass')
'myclass' is a built-in function
