What Are MEX-Files?

You can call your own C, C++, or Fortran subroutines from the MATLAB command line as if they were built-in functions. These programs, called binary MEX-files, are dynamically-linked subroutines that the MATLAB interpreter loads and executes. MEX stands for "MATLAB executable."

[Walter Roberson]

The question might be, "Which programming language is the command 'mex' itself implemented in?" If so then the answer is mex.m is a MATLAB routine that invokes another MATLAB routine which invokes a command script at the shell level. The shell script invokes a variety of utility routines and eventually invokes the system compiler that has been configured via "mex -setup".

[Jason Ross]

That is also a correct answer ... although the original question could likely do with some elaboration.
