Where in documentation does it say that fitnet([]) gives a linear model?

I have seen Greg Heath's posts such as this one in which fitnet([]) is used to fit a linear model, i.e. with no hidden layers. But I can't find a reference in the fitnet documentation that this is the expected result of [] as an input, and I find this hard to spot in the fitnet.m code. Can someone please point me to a description in the documentation of the expected behavior of fitnet([])? I just want to understand this better.

fitnet(H) yields H nodes in the hidden layer
A linear function needs no hidden layer
I could only think of 2 possibilities
a. net1 = fitnet(0), view(net1)
b. net2 = fitnet([]), view(net2)
So, as I did, try them out and see what happens.
Not sure if I checked the documentation.
Since I don't have MATLAB on this computer I can't check.
Also can't remember what happens when you try fitnet(0).
Hope this helps.

In the Input Arguments section of the documentation, where it discusses the hiddenSizes input, there is the sentence, "The length of the vector determines the number of hidden layers in the network."
Since the length of the empty vector is zero:
>> length([])
ans =
0
one can infer, I suppose, that there will be zero hidden layers. This could certainly be made more explicit, though. (I don't think I would have thought to try, had it not been for your question.)
I don't have access to the code, but I'm guessing that armed with the above knowledge, you can find where MATLAB determines the number of hidden layers from the length of that input.
