## @deftypefn {Function File} {} dec2hex (@var{d}, @var{len})
## Return the hexadecimal string corresponding to the non-negative 
## integer @var{d}.  For example:
##
## @example
## @group
## dec2hex (2748)
##      @result{} "ABC"
## @end group
## @end example
##
## If @var{d} is a vector, return a string matrix, one row per value,
## padded with leading zeros to the width of the largest value.
##
## The optional second argument, @var{len}, specifies the minimum
## number of digits in the result.
