+-## @deftypefn {Function File} {@var{rval} =} strjoin (@var{prefixstr}, @var{stringcell})
+-## @deftypefnx {Function File} {@var{rval} =} strjoin (@var{prefixstr}, @var{varargs})
+-## Joins the strings in @var{stringcell} with the @var{prefixstr} like the list-join
+-## function in Python; the second version allows usage with variable number of arguments.
+-## Note that, if using cell-array as a second argument, only 2 arguments are accepted.
+-## Also note that, both the arguments are strings or containers of strings (cells).
+-##
+-## @example
+-## @group
+-##           strjoin(' loves-> ','marie','amy','beth') 
+-##           ##returns 'marie loves-> amy loves-> beth'
+-##
+-##           strjoin('*',@{'Octave','Scilab','Lush','Yorick'@})
+-##           ##returns 'Octave*Scilab*Lush*Yorick'
+-## @end group
