Sorry this was just my mistake (I forgot the quotes):
----------------------
>> [text, format] = get_help_text ("myfun")
text = MYFUN: this version of myfun is defined in an oct-file
format = plain text
>> [text, format] = get_help_text ("myfun")
text = MYFUN: this version of myfun is defined in an m-file
format = plain text
>>
----------------------
so get_help_text seems to work as expected
on the other hand:
-----------------------
>> ls
PKG_ADD low_level_functions.cc low_level_functions.o
low_level_functions.oct myfun.m
>> gen_doc_cache ("DOC_CACHE", canonicalize_file_name("./"))
warning: gen_doc_cache: unusable help text in
'low_level_functions.oct'. Ignoring function.
warning: function name `myfun' does not agree with function file name `'
warning: function name `myfun' does not agree with function file name `'

-----------------------
the reason I am looking at this is that I get plenty of similar errors
if I try to install
the nurbs package on 3.1.55
also this might be some mistake on my side somwhere rather than a bug,
but I can't see where...
