warning displays a warning message.
warning(' ') resets lastwarn state.
When called as warning(id, msg, ...) or warning(state, id), the identifier is written component:mnemonic, with one or more component fields followed by a mnemonic, each field starting with a letter and containing only letters, digits, or underscores, separated by colons (example: 'Nelson:io:fileNotFound'). Warnings raised by Nelson use Nelson as the first component; in your own code use a component of your choosing (for example your module name).
A few rules keep identifiers useful: the component should route to the area that raises the warning and the mnemonic should name the specific case in camelCase; a short two-field identifier is enough for cases that can happen anywhere; give one identifier a single message text (an identifier reused with several different messages cannot be translated); and reuse an existing identifier for the same case rather than a near-duplicate. The identifier is also what warning('off', id) and warning('on', id) enable or disable, so a stable identifier lets users control the warning.
warning('your warning message.')
warning('on', 'myModule:identifier');
warning('myModule:identifier', 'my message 1 on');
warning('off', 'myModule:identifier');
warning('myModule:identifier', 'my message 2 off');
warning('aserror', 'myModule:identifier');
warning('myModule:identifier', 'my message 3 as error');
