+## @deftypefn {Function File} {} deblank (@var{s})
+## Remove trailing whitespace and nulls from @var{s}.  If @var{s}
+## is a matrix, @var{deblank} trims each row to the length of longest
+## string.  If @var{s} is a cell array of strings, operate recursively on each
+## string element.
+##
+## Examples:
+##
+## @example
+## @group
+## deblank ("    abc  ")
+##      @result{}  "    abc"
+##
+## deblank ([" abc   "; "   def   "])
+##      @result{}  [" abc  " ; "   def"]
+## @end group
+## @end example
+## @seealso{strtrim}
+## @end deftypefn
