## Evaluate the function named @var{name} on the fields of the structure
## @var{S}.  The fields of @var{S} are passed to the function @var{func}
## individually.
##
## @code{structfun} accepts an arbitrary function @var{func} in the form of
## an inline function, function handle, or the name of a function (in a
## character string).  In the case of a character string argument, the
## function must accept a single argument named @var{x}, and it must return
## a string value.  If the function returns more than one argument, they are
## returned as separate output variables.
##
## If the parameter "UniformOutput" is set to true (the default), then the
## function
## must return a single element which will be concatenated into the
## return value.  If "UniformOutput" is false, the outputs are placed into a
## structure
## with the same fieldnames as the input structure.
##
## @example
## @group
## s.name1 = "John Smith";
## s.name2 = "Jill Jones";
## structfun (@@(x) regexp (x, '(\w+)$', "matches")@{1@}, s,
##            "UniformOutput", false)
##     @result{}
##    @{
##      name1 = Smith
##      name2 = Jones
##    @}
## @end group
## @end example
##
## Given the parameter "ErrorHandler", @var{errfunc} defines a function to
## call in case @var{func} generates an error.  The form of the function is
##
## @example
## function [@dots{}] = errfunc (@var{se}, @dots{})
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## where there is an additional input argument to @var{errfunc} relative to
## @var{func}, given by @var{se}.  This is a structure with the elements
## "identifier", "message" and "index", giving respectively the error
## identifier, the error message, and the index into the input arguments
## of the element that caused the error.  For an example on how to use
## an error handler, @pxref{doc-cellfun, @code{cellfun}}.
