## @deftypefn {Function File} {} namelengthmax ()
## Return the @sc{matlab} compatible maximum variable name length.
##
## Octave is capable of storing strings up to @math{2^{31} - 1} in length.
## However for @sc{matlab} compatibility all variable, function, and structure
## field names should be shorter than the length returned by
## @code{namelengthmax}.  In particular, variables stored to a @sc{matlab} file
## format (@file{*.mat}) will have their names truncated to this length.
## @end deftypefn

function n = namelengthmax ()
  n = 63;
endfunction


%!assert (namelengthmax (), 63)
