GAINDB - Increase/decrease level of signal

Program code:

function inoutsig = gaindb(inoutsig,gn,varargin)
%GAINDB  Increase/decrease level of signal
%   Usage:  outsig = gaindb(insig,gn);
%
%   GAINDB(insig,gn) increases the energy level of the signal by gn*
%   dB.
%
%   If gn is a scalar, the whole input signal is scaled.
%
%   If gn is a vector, each column is scaled by the entries in
%   gn. The length of gn must match the number of columns.
%
%   GAINDB(insig,gn,dim) scales the signal along dimension dim.
