+## @deftypefn {Function File} {[@var{pval}, @var{z}] =} z_test (@var{x}, @var{m}, @var{v}, @var{alt})
+## Perform a Z-test of the null hypothesis @code{mean (@var{x}) ==
+## @var{m}} for a sample @var{x} from a normal distribution with unknown
+## mean and known variance @var{v}.  Under the null, the test statistic
+## @var{z} follows a standard normal distribution.
+##
+## With the optional argument string @var{alt}, the alternative of
+## interest can be selected.  If @var{alt} is @code{"!="} or
+## @code{"<>"}, the null is tested against the two-sided alternative
+## @code{mean (@var{x}) != @var{m}}.  If @var{alt} is @code{">"}, the
+## one-sided alternative @code{mean (@var{x}) > @var{m}} is considered.
+## Similarly for @code{"<"}, the one-sided alternative @code{mean
+## (@var{x}) < @var{m}} is considered.  The default is the two-sided
+## case.
+##
+## The p-value of the test is returned in @var{pval}.
+##
+## If no output argument is given, the p-value of the test is displayed
+## along with some information.
