## Step response of @acronym{LTI} system.
## If no output arguments are given, the response is printed on the screen.
##
## @strong{Inputs}
## @table @var
## @item sys
## @acronym{LTI} model.
## @item t
## Time vector.  Should be evenly spaced.  If not specified, it is calculated by
## the poles of the system to reflect adequately the response transients.
## @item tfinal
## Optional simulation horizon.  If not specified, it is calculated by
## the poles of the system to reflect adequately the response transients.
## @item dt
## Optional sampling time.  Be sure to choose it small enough to capture transient
## phenomena.  If not specified, it is calculated by the poles of the system.
## @item 'style'
## Line style and color, e.g. 'r' for a solid red line or '-.k' for a dash-dotted
## black line.  See @command{help plot} for details.
## @end table

## @strong{Outputs}
## @table @var
## @item y
## Output response array.  Has as many rows as time samples (length of t)
## and as many columns as outputs.
## @item t
## Time row vector.
## @item x
## State trajectories array.  Has @code{length (t)} rows and as many columns as states.
