How to get the name of the computer under MATLAB?

I want to register the name of the computer where my script is running. Is it possible to get this info?

Check this FEX submission. Or you can simply try following commands
[ret, name] = system('hostname')
name = getenv('COMPUTERNAME'); % for windows
name = getenv('HOSTNAME')

This does not work when running a VPN on a Mac (running Catalina); the hostname is replaced by an IP address.

Get the hostname of the local machine with built-in Java
name = string(java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName());
