+function uiucdownload(varargin)
+ % UIUCDOWNLOAD Download, extract and clean the UIUC propeller database.
+ % This function executes the following tasks:
+ % 1. Download the UIUC Propeller database into database/UIUC-propDB_YYYYMMDD.zip. It also
+ % saves the file hash into a textfile in oder to prevent useless re-downloads.
+ % 2. Unzip the database and moves the data files found in volumeX/data/* into
+ % database/UIUC_propDB/volumeX/*
+ % 3. The rest of the unzipped files are cleaned up
+ % 4. The zip file is either kept or removed, based on user input
+ % -----
+ %
+ % Syntax:
+ % uiucdownload() Download the database (if needed) and its md5 checksum, extract the data
+ % files and cleanup afterwards.
+ %
+ % uiucdownload('force', true) Forces the redownload of the database, even if the md5 checksum
+ % found locally matches the one present on the UIUC website. Default: false.
+ %
+ % uiucdownload('quiet', true) Removes all verbosity from the command line. Default: false.
+ %
+ % uiucdownload('removeZip', true) Removes the zipfile as well during cleanup. Default: true.
+ %
+ % uiucdownload('removeSum', true) Removes the checksum file as well during cleanup.
+ % Note that this will result in a forced download of the database if the function is run
+ % again, even if the zip-file is still present locally. Default: false.
+ %
+ % Inputs:
+ % 'force' : Forces redownload of the database
+ % 'quiet' : Removes verbosity from the command line
+ % 'removeZip' : Removes the zip-file at cleanup
+ % 'removeSum' : Removes the checksum at cleanup. This will force a redownload if the function
+ % is run again
+ %
+ % Outputs:
+ % UIUC-propDB : Directory containing the all useful data from the UIUC propeller database.
+ %
+ % Examples:
+ % uiucdownload()
+ % uiucdownload('force', true)
+ % uiucdownload('removeZip', false, 'force', true)
