%    input:
%        option (optional): option can be ignored. If it is a string with a
%             value 'snirf', this creates a default SNIRF data structure;
%             otherwise, a JSNIRF data structure is created.
%        format: save as option.
%        param/value:   a list of name/value pairs specify
%             additional subfields to be stored under the /nirs object.

%    output:
%        snf: a default SNIRF or JSNIRF data structure.
