Note that this reference documentation is identical to the help that is displayed in Matlab when you type “help ft_checkopt”.

  FT_CHECKOPT does a validity test on the types and values of a configuration
  structure or cell-array with key-value pairs.
 
  Use as
    opt = ft_checkopt(opt, key)
    opt = ft_checkopt(opt, key, allowedtype)
    opt = ft_checkopt(opt, key, allowedtype, allowedval)
 
  For allowedtype you can specify a string or a cell-array with multiple
  strings. All the default MATLAB types can be specified, such as
    'double'
    'logical'
    'char'
    'single'
    'float'
    'int16'
    'cell'
    'struct'
    'function_handle'
  Furthermore, the following custom types can be specified
    'doublescalar'
    'doublevector'
    'doublematrix'
    'numericscalar'
    'numericvector'
    'numericmatrix'
    'charcell'
 
  For allowedval you can specify a single value or a cell-array
  with multiple values.
 
  This function will give an error or it returns the input configuration
  structure or cell-array without modifications. A match on any of the
  allowed types and any of the allowed values is sufficient to let this
  function pass.
