+## @deftypefn {Function File} {[@var{y}, @var{c}] =} stft (@var{x}, @var{win_size}, @var{inc}, @var{num_coef}, @var{win_type})
+## Compute the short-time Fourier transform of the vector @var{x} with
+## @var{num_coef} coefficients by applying a window of @var{win_size} data
+## points and an increment of @var{inc} points.
+##
+## Before computing the Fourier transform, one of the following windows
+## is applied:
+##
+## @table @asis
+## @item @nospell{hanning}
+## win_type = 1
+##
+## @item @nospell{hamming}
+## win_type = 2
+##
+## @item rectangle
+## win_type = 3
+## @end table
+##
+## The window names can be passed as strings or by the @var{win_type} number.
+##
+## If not all arguments are specified, the following defaults are used:
+## @var{win_size} = 80, @var{inc} = 24, @var{num_coef} = 64, and
+## @var{win_type} = 1.
+##
+## @code{@var{y} = stft (@var{x}, @dots{})} returns the absolute values
+## of the Fourier coefficients according to the @var{num_coef} positive
+## frequencies.
+##
+## @code{[@var{y}, @var{c}] = stft (@code{x}, @dots{})} returns the
+## entire STFT-matrix @var{y} and a 3-element vector @var{c} containing
+## the window size, increment, and window type, which is needed by the
+## synthesis function.
