MATLAB: How to list only those methods defined or overloaded in a certain classdef file

methodoop

Doing methods('myclass') will return the complete list of methods that myclass objects can invoke, including those inherited from superclasses. What can I do if I want to list only those methods implemented in the myclass.m classdef file itself?

As per commented, this can be done through meta objects,
    function nameCell=methodslocal(classname)
    %Return the names of non-Hidden methods defined 
    %or overloaded in the class called 'classname'
    %
    %    nameCell=methodslocal(classname)
      mcls = meta.class.fromName(classname);
      ml=mcls.MethodList;
        ml=ml(~[ml.Hidden]);
      N=numel(ml);
      for i=N:-1:1, 
          c{i}=ml(i).DefiningClass.Name; 
      end
      lidx = strcmp(c,classname);
      nameCell=sortrows({ml(lidx).Name}.').';
