    The key should be either a string or a sequence of string corresponding

    will make the output quite unreliable. Note that duplicates are not
    looked for by the algorithm.

    Parameters
    ----------
    key : {string, sequence}
        A string or a sequence of strings corresponding to the fields used
        for comparison.

        Structured arrays.
    jointype : {'inner', 'outer', 'leftouter'}, optional
        If 'inner', returns the elements common to both r1 and r2.
        If 'outer', returns the common elements as well as the elements of

        If 'leftouter', returns the common elements and the elements of r1

    r1postfix : string, optional
        String appended to the names of the fields of r1 that are present

    r2postfix : string, optional
        String appended to the names of the fields of r2 that are present

        Dictionary mapping field names to the corresponding default values.

    Notes
    -----
    * The output is sorted along the key.
    * A temporary array is formed by dropping the fields not in the key for
      the two arrays and concatenating the result. This array is then
      sorted, and the common entries selected. The output is constructed by
      filling the fields with the selected entries. Matching is not
      preserved if there are some duplicates...
