+## Compute condition numbers of the eigenvalues of a matrix. The
+## condition numbers are the reciprocals of the cosines of the angles
+## between the left and right eigenvectors.
+##
+## @subheading Arguments
+##
+## @itemize @bullet
+## @item
+## @var{a} must be a square numeric matrix.
+## @end itemize
+##
+## @subheading Return values
+##
+## @itemize @bullet
+## @item
+## @var{c} is a vector of condition numbers of the eigenvalue of
+## @var{a}.
+##
+## @item
+## @var{v} is the matrix of right eigenvectors of @var{a}. The result is
+## the same as for @code{[v, lambda] = eig (a)}.
+##
+## @item
+## @var{lambda} is the diagonal matrix of eigenvalues of @var{a}. The
+## result is the same as for @code{[v, lambda] = eig (a)}.
+## @end itemize

+## c = condeig (a)
+## @result{} [1.0150; 1.0150]
