## @deftypefn  {Function File} {@var{filelist} =} gzip (@var{files})
## @deftypefnx {Function File} {@var{filelist} =} gzip (@var{files}, @var{dir})
## Compress the list of files and directories specified in @var{files}.
##
## @var{files} is a character array or cell array of strings.  Shell
## wildcards in the filename such as @samp{*} or @samp{?} are accepted and
## expanded.  Each file is compressed separately and a new file with a
## @file{".gz"} extension is created.  The original files are not modified,
## but existing compressed files will be silently overwritten.  If a directory
## is specified then @code{gzip} recursively compresses all files in the
## directory.
##
## If @var{dir} is defined the compressed files are placed in this directory,
## rather than the original directory where the uncompressed file resides.
## If @var{dir} does not exist it is created.
##
## The optional output @var{filelist} is a list of the compressed files.
