## Read data from a text file.
##
## The file @var{filename} is read and parsed according to @var{format}.  The
## function behaves like @code{strread} except it works by parsing a file
## instead of a string.  See the documentation of @code{strread} for details.
##
## In addition to the options supported by @code{strread}, this function
## supports two more:
##
## @itemize
## @item "headerlines":
## The first @var{value} number of lines of @var{filename} are skipped.
##
## @item "endofline":
## Specify a single character or "\r\n".  If no value is given, it will be
## inferred from the file.  If set to "" (empty string) EOLs are ignored as
## delimiters.
## @end itemize
##
## The optional input @var{n} specifies the number of data lines to read; in
## this sense it differs slightly from the format repeat count in strread.
##
