+## @deftypefn {Function File} {@var{y} =} circshift (@var{x}, @var{n})
+## Circularly shift the values of the array @var{x}. @var{n} must be
+## a vector of integers no longer than the number of dimensions in
+## @var{x}. The values of @var{n} can be either positive or negative,
+## which determines the direction in which the values or @var{x} are
+## shifted. If an element of @var{n} is zero, then the corresponding
+## dimension of @var{x} will not be shifted. For example:
+##
+## @example
+## @group
+## x = [1, 2, 3; 4, 5, 6; 7, 8, 9];
+## circshift (x, 1)
+## @result{} 7, 8, 9
+## 1, 2, 3
+## 4, 5, 6
+## circshift (x, -2)
+## @result{} 7, 8, 9
+## 1, 2, 3
+## 4, 5, 6
+## circshift (x, [0,1])
+## @result{} 3, 1, 2
+## 6, 4, 5
+## 9, 7, 8
+## @end group
+## @end example
+## @seealso {permute, ipermute, shiftdim}
