The program assigns each field of a structure into output arguments.

s =
a: 1
b: [1 2 4]
c: [5x2 double]
d: 'test'
e: {[3]}

>> [a b c d e]=struct2vars(s)

a =
1

b =
1 2 4

c =
0.8147 0.0975
0.9058 0.2785
0.1270 0.5469
0.9134 0.9575
0.6324 0.9649

d =
test

e =
[3]

A even better usage if you're trying to dump all your struct into the current workspace:
T=fieldnames(S);
[T{:}]=struct2vars(S);
