function A = catstruct(varargin)
% CATSTRUCT - concatenate structures
%
%   X = CATSTRUCT(S1,S2,S3,...) concates the structures S1, S2, ... into one
%   structure X. 
%
%   Example:
%     A.name = 'Me' ; 
%     B.income = 99999 ; 
%     X = catstruct(A,B) 
%     % -> X.name = 'Me' ;
%     %    X.income = 99999 ;
%
%   CATSTRUCT(S1,S2,'sorted') will sort the fieldnames alphabetically.
%
%   If a fieldname occurs more than once in the argument list, only the last
%   occurence is used, and the fields are alphabetically sorted.
%
%   To sort the fieldnames of a structure A use:
%     A = CATSTRUCT(A,'sorted') ;
%
%   To concatenate two similar array of structs use simple concatenation:
%     A = dir('*.mat') ; B = dir('*.m') ; C = [A ; B] ;
%
%   When there is nothing to concatenate, the result will be an empty
%   struct (0x0 struct array with no fields).

% History
% Created:  2005
% Revisions
%   2.0 (sep 2007) removed bug when dealing with fields containing cell
%                  arrays (Thanks to Rene Willemink) 
%   2.1 (sep 2008) added warning and error identifiers
%   2.2 (oct 2008) fixed error when dealing with empty structs (Thanks to
%                  Lars Barring)
