What does the function maybeUpdat​eAttachedF​iles( ) do?

Located in: C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2014b\toolbox\distcomp\cluster\+parallel\+internal\+pool\maybeUpdateAttachedFiles.m

Does it maybe-update the attached files, or does it update the maybe-attached files?

Whatever maybe may be, Eldad.

It is an internal utility for the Parallel Computing Toolbox. Because it is in an internal package (the path contains +internal) as described on this documentation page you should not call it yourself nor write code that depends upon it.

You'll have to wait for Walter to respond. He's the only one here with the Crystal Ball Toolbox. All I can do is guess, and that guess would be that function maybe updates any attached files, but possibly it doesn't update them. Based on what criteria does it update or not update? I have no idea. I don't even know what "attached" means to the program. Attached to what?

I don't think it would "update the maybe-attached files" because then you wouldn't have "maybe" in the name - you would simply call it UpdateAttachedFiles() and just simply return if no files were attached or passed in.

Or you can open the file and see what it actually does. I can't do that as I'm still on the waiting list for the Crystal Ball Toolbox, so you'd have to do that yourself.
