Function Reference
— Built-in Function: val = save_header_format_string ()
— Built-in Function: old_val = save_header_format_string (new_val)

Query or set the internal variable that specifies the format string used for the comment line written at the beginning of text-format data files saved by Octave. The format string is passed to strftime and should begin with the character ‘#’ and contain no newline characters. If the value of save_header_format_string is the empty string, the header comment is omitted from text-format data files. The default value is

          "# Created by Octave VERSION, %a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y %Z <USER@HOST>"
