+    Estimate a covariance matrix.
+
+    Covariance indicates the level to which two variables vary together.
+    If we examine N-dimensional samples, :math:`X = [x_1, x_2, ... x_N]^T`,
+    then the covariance matrix element :math:`C_{ij}` is the covariance of
+    :math:`x_i` and :math:`x_j`. The element :math:`C_{ii}` is the variance
+    of :math:`x_i`.
+
+    This provides a subset of the functionality of ``numpy.cov``.
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    m : array
+        A 1-D or 2-D array containing multiple variables and observations.
+        Each row of `m` represents a variable, and each column a single
+        observation of all those variables.
+    xp : array_namespace, optional
+        The standard-compatible namespace for `m`. Default: infer.
+
+    Returns
+    -------
+    array
+        The covariance matrix of the variables.
+
+    Examples
+    --------
+    >>> import array_api_strict as xp
+    >>> import array_api_extra as xpx
+
+    Consider two variables, :math:`x_0` and :math:`x_1`, which
+    correlate perfectly, but in opposite directions:

+    >>> x
+    Array([[0, 1, 2],
+           [2, 1, 0]], dtype=array_api_strict.int64)
+
+    Note how :math:`x_0` increases while :math:`x_1` decreases. The covariance
+    matrix shows this clearly:
+
+    >>> xpx.cov(x, xp=xp)
+    Array([[ 1., -1.],
+           [-1.,  1.]], dtype=array_api_strict.float64)
+
+    Note that element :math:`C_{0,1}`, which shows the correlation between
+    :math:`x_0` and :math:`x_1`, is negative.
+
+    Further, note how `x` and `y` are combined:
+
+    >>> x = xp.asarray([-2.1, -1,  4.3])
+    >>> y = xp.asarray([3,  1.1,  0.12])
