The function works, but there is no online documentation:

interp1(0:10,0:10,[3.5,4.5])

ans =

  3.5000  4.5000

help interp1

help: sorry, `interp1' is not documented

...

but:

help rows
rows is the user-defined function from the file
/usr/share/octave/2.1.42/m/general/rows.m

 - Function File:  rows (A)
     Return the number of rows of A.

See also: size, columns, length, isscalar, isvector, and ismatrix.

...

There is a difference between the two files. In rows.m:

## -*- texinfo -*-
## @deftypefn {Function File} {} rows (@var{a})
## Return the number of rows of @var{a}.
## @end deftypefn
## @seealso{size, columns, length, isscalar, isvector, and ismatrix}
...

but in interp1.m:

## usage: yi = interp1(x, y, xi [, 'method' [, 'extrap']])
##
## Interpolate the function y=f(x) at the points xi. The sample 
## points x must be strictly monotonic.  If y is a matrix with
## length(x) rows, yi will be a matrix of size rows(xi) by columns(y),
...


What's wrong?
