function varargout=wfdbexec(varargin)
%
% [output]=wfdbexec(commandName,inputArguments,logLevel)
% [nativeCommands]=wfdbexec()
%
% Executes a WFDB native command ('commandName'), with input arguments
% given by 'inputArguments', and outputs everything into a cell array
% called 'output'. The execution is done through a system call outside of
% MATLAB. If no input arguments are provided to the function, the
% output is an array list of all available native WFDB commands in this OS.
% Substantial, non-trivial text parsing maybe required for processing the
% output into a useful MATLAB numerical variable.
%
% WFDBEXEC is useful in cases where a specific command, or feature for a
% command, is not yet in implemented in the MATLAB wrapper. This function
% may be useful for those wishing to do some debugging or performance comparisons.
%
% The user should be very carefull when using this command. The user should
% be familiar with the input and output arguments of the native command
% that he/she is using. In some cases, information about the command can be
% obtained by running the command by itself, of with either '-h',
% '-help','--help' as input arguments in order to access the command help
% information. Offcourse, you can also look at the man page or source code
% for the command at http://www.physionet.org/.
%
%
%
%Required Parameters:
%
% commandName
%       String specifying the command to be called. To ge a list of
%       available WFDB commands that may be runnable by system calls run
%       this function by itself:
%               [nativeCommands]=wfdbexec();
%
%inputArguments
%       Cell array of strings specifying the inputArguments to the command.
%       Each command flag is an element on the cell array. Command flags
%       that require additional parameters should be followed by another
%       String element with the requied parameter(s). In cases you are
%       usign a command that is already implemente in a MATLAB wrapper, it
%       maybe helpful to look at that command's MATLAB code.
%
%Optional Parameters:
%
%       logLevel
%       1x1 integer that specifies the logleve (verbosity) of the execution process.
%       Options are:
%                     0 OFF (Default)
%                     1 SEVERE
%                     2 WARNING
%                     3 INFO
%                     4 FINEST
%                     5 ALL
%
%Output:
%
%output
%       Nx1 Cell array list of Strings.
