@deftypefn  {Loadable Function} {@var{x} =} inv (@var{A})\n\
@deftypefnx {Loadable Function} {[@var{x}, @var{rcond}] =} inv (@var{A})\n\
Compute the inverse of the square matrix @var{A}.  Return an estimate\n\
of the reciprocal condition number if requested, otherwise warn of an\n\
ill-conditioned matrix if the reciprocal condition number is small.\n\
\n\
In general it is best to avoid calculating the inverse of a matrix\n\
directly.  For example, it is both faster and more accurate to solve\n\
systems of equations (@var{A}*@math{x} = @math{b}) with\n\
@code{@var{y} = @var{A} \\ @math{b}}, rather than\n\
@code{@var{y} = inv (@var{A}) * @math{b}}.\n\
\n\
If called with a sparse matrix, then in general @var{x} will be a full\n\
matrix requiring significantly more storage.  Avoid forming the inverse\n\
of a sparse matrix if possible.\n\
