    Fills fields from output with fields from input,

    Parameters
    ----------
    input : ndarray
        Input array.
    output : ndarray
        Output array.

    Notes
    -----
    * `output` should be at least the same size as `input`

    Examples
    --------
    >>> import numpy as np
    >>> from numpy.lib import recfunctions as rfn
    >>> a = np.array([(1, 10.), (2, 20.)], dtype=[('A', np.int64), ('B', np.float64)])
