function [h, w] = freqz(b,...)

# Compute the frequency response of a filter.
#
# [h,w] = resp(b)
#   returns the complex frequency response h of the FIR filter with
#   coefficients b. The response is evaluated at 512 angular frequencies
#   between 0 and pi.  w is a vector containing the 512 frequencies.
#
# [h,w] = resp(b,a)
#   returns the complex frequency response of the rational IIR filter
#   whose numerator has coefficients b and denominator coefficients a.
#
# [h,w] = resp(b,a,n)
#   returns the response evaluated at n angular frequencies.  For fastest
#   computation n should factor into a small number of small primes.
#
# [h,w] = freqz(b,a,n,"whole")
#   evaluates the response at n frequencies between 0 and 2*pi.
