function A = catstruct(varargin)
% CATSTRUCT Concatenate or merge structures with different fieldnames
% X = CATSTRUCT(S1,S2,S3,...) merges the structures S1, S2, S3 ...
% into one new structure X. X contains all fields present in the various
% structures. An example:
%
% A.name = 'Me' ;
% B.income = 99999 ;
% X = catstruct(A,B)
% % -> X.name = 'Me' ;
% % X.income = 99999 ;
%
% If a fieldname is not unique among structures (i.e., a fieldname is
% present in more than one structure), only the value from the last
% structure with this field is used. In this case, the fields are
% alphabetically sorted. A warning is issued as well. An axample:
%
% S1.name = 'Me' ;
% S2.age = 20 ; S3.age = 30 ; S4.age = 40 ;
% S5.honest = false ;
% Y = catstruct(S1,S2,S3,S4,S5) % use value from S4
%
% The inputs can be array of structures. All structures should have the
% same size. An example:
%
% C(1).bb = 1 ; C(2).bb = 2 ;
% D(1).aa = 3 ; D(2).aa = 4 ;
% CD = catstruct(C,D) % CD is a 1x2 structure array with fields bb and aa
%
% The last input can be the string 'sorted'. In this case,
% CATSTRUCT(S1,S2, ..., 'sorted') will sort the fieldnames alphabetically.
% To sort the fieldnames of a structure A, you could use
% CATSTRUCT(A,'sorted') but I recommend ORDERFIELDS for doing that.
%
% When there is nothing to concatenate, the result will be an empty
% struct (0x0 struct array with no fields).
%
% NOTE: To concatenate similar arrays of structs, you can use simple
% concatenation:
% A = dir('*.mat') ; B = dir('*.m') ; C = [A ; B] ;
%
% See also CAT, STRUCT, FIELDNAMES, STRUCT2CELL, ORDERFIELDS
% for Matlab R13 and up
% version 3.0 (mar 2013)

% History
% Created in 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)
% 3.0 (mar 2013) fixed problem when the inputs were array of structures
% (thanks to Tor Inge Birkenes for pointing this out).
% Rephrased the help section as well.
