<title>Description</title>
<para>A function whose output argument list contains
<literal>varargout</literal> must be called with more output arguments
than indicated in the output argument list. The calling arguments passed
form <literal>varargout</literal> keyword onwards are extracted out of the
<literal>varargout</literal> list defined in the function.</para>
<para><literal>varargout= function ex()</literal> may be called with any
number of output arguments. Within function <literal>ex</literal> output
arguments may be stored in in <literal>varargout(i)</literal>.</para>
<para><literal>[X1,...Xn,varargout]= function ex()</literal> may also be
used. In this case the <literal>Xi</literal> variables must be assigned in
the function as well as <literal>varargout(i)</literal>.</para>
<para>The actual total number of output argument is given <link
linkend="argn">argn(1)</link></para>
</refsection>
<refsection>
<title>Remark</title>
<para>The <literal>varargout</literal> variable must be created within the
function and assigned to a <link linkend="list">list</link>. If varargout
is the only formal output variable the list must contain at least one
entry.</para>
