value = statget (options, name) returns the value the option name carries in options, or [] when that option is unset. options is a structure as built by statset, although any structure is accepted.

value = statget (options, name, default) returns default instead whenever the option is unset, which is the form a calling function uses to fall back on its own default. Note that default is returned when the option is empty, not only when it is absent, since an empty option is precisely how statset spells "unset".

name is matched case-insensitively, and may be abbreviated to any leading portion that singles out one option: statget (options, "MaxI") reads "MaxIter". An abbreviation matching more than one option raises, rather than choosing between them; an exact match is taken as exact even where it is also a prefix of a longer name.
