    -h|-help             - Display arguments.

    -n                   - Display final environment variables,

                           arguments, and other diagnostic

                           information. MATLAB is not run.

    -e                   - Display ALL the environment variables and

                           their values to standard output. MATLAB

                           is not run. If the exit status is not

                            on return then the variables and values

                           may not be correct.

    -arch                - Start MATLAB assuming architecture arch.

    v=variant            - Start the version of MATLAB found

                           in bin/glnxa64/variant instead of bin/glnxa64.

    v=arch/variant       - Start the version of MATLAB found

                           in bin/arch/variant instead of bin/glnxa64.

    -c licensefile       - Set location of the license file that MATLAB

                           should use.  It can have the form port@host or

                           be a colon separated list of license files.

                           The LM_LICENSE_FILE and MLM_LICENSE_FILE

                           environment variables will be ignored.

    -display Xdisplay    - Send X commands to X server display, Xdisplay.

    -nodisplay           - Do not display any X commands. The MATLAB

                           desktop will not be started. However, unless

                           -nojvm is also provided the Java virtual machine

                           will be started.

    -nosplash            - Do not display the splash screen during startup.

    -mwvisual visualid   - The default X visual to use for figure windows.

    -debug               - Provide debugging information especially for X

                           based problems.

    -desktop             - Allow the MATLAB desktop to be started by a

                           process without a controlling terminal. This is

                           usually a required command line argument when

                           attempting to start MATLAB from a window manager

                           menu or desktop icon.

    -nodesktop           - Do not start the MATLAB desktop. Use the current

                           terminal for commands. The Java virtual machine

                           will be started.

    -singleCompThread    - Limit MATLAB to a single computational thread.

                           By default, MATLAB makes use of the multithreading

                           capabilities of the computer on which it is running.

    -nojvm               - Shut off all Java support by not starting the

                           Java virtual machine. In particular the MATLAB

                           desktop will not be started.

    -jdb [port]          - Enable remote Java debugging on port (default )

    -r MATLAB_command    - Start MATLAB and execute the MATLAB_command.

    -logfile log         - Make a copy of any output to the command window

                           in file log. This includes all crash reports.

    -Ddebugger [options] - Start debugger to debug MATLAB.

    -nouserjavapath      - Ignore custom javaclasspath.txt and javalibrarypath.txt files.
