Called from within a function, return the number of values the caller
expects to receive.  At the top level, @code{nargout} with no argument is
undefined and will produce an error.
 
If called with the optional argument @var{fcn}---a function name or
handle---return the number of declared output values that the function can
produce.
 
If the final output argument is @var{varargout} the returned value is
negative.
 
For example,
 
@example
f ()
@end example
 
@noindent
will cause @code{nargout} to return 0 inside the function @code{f} and
 
@example
[s, t] = f ()
@end example
 
@noindent
will cause @code{nargout} to return 2 inside the function @code{f}.
 
In the second usage,
 
@example
nargout (@@histc)   # or nargout ("histc") using a string input
@end example
 
@noindent
will return 2, because @code{histc} has two outputs, whereas
 
@example
nargout (@@imread)
@end example
 
@noindent
will return -2, because @code{imread} has two outputs and the second is
@var{varargout}.
 
Programming Note.  @code{nargout} does not work for built-in functions and
returns -1 for all anonymous functions.

Within a function, return a logical value indicating whether the argument
@var{k} will be assigned to a variable on output.
 
If the result is false, the argument has been ignored during the function
call through the use of the tilde (~) special output argument.  Functions
can use @code{isargout} to avoid performing unnecessary calculations for
outputs which are unwanted.
 
If @var{k} is outside the range @code{1:max (nargout)}, the function returns
false.  @var{k} can also be an array, in which case the function works
element-by-element and a logical array is returned.  At the top level,
@code{isargout} returns an error.
