+@defun shortdoc-function-examples function
+This function returns all shortdoc examples for @var{function}. The

+@example

+where @var{group} is a documentation group where @var{function}
+appears in and @var{examples} is a string with the examples of use of
+@var{function} defined in @var{group}.
+
+@code{shortdoc-function-examples} returns @code{nil} if @var{function}
+is not a function or if it doesn’t contain shortdoc information.
