NAME

       octave - A high-level interactive language for numerical computations.

SYNOPSIS

       octave [options]... [file]

DESCRIPTION

       Octave  is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical computations.  It provides a convenient command line interface for solv-
       ing linear and nonlinear problems numerically.

OPTIONS

       The complete set of command-line options for octave is available by running the following command from the shell.

	   octave --help

DOCUMENTATION

       The primary documentation for Octave is written using Texinfo, the GNU documentation system, which allows the same source files to be  used
       to produce on-line and printed versions of the manual.

       You can read the on-line copy of the Octave documentation by issuing the following command from within octave.

	   octave:1> doc

       The  Info  files may also be read with a stand-alone program such as info or xinfo.  HTML, Postscript, or PDF versions of the documentation
       are installed on many systems as well.

BUGS

       The Octave project maintains a bug tracker at http://bugs.octave.org.  Before submitting  a  new  item  please  read  the  instructions	at
       http://www.octave.org/bugs.html on how to submit a useful report.

FILES

       Upon startup Octave looks for four initialization files.  Each file may contain any number of valid Octave commands.

       octave-home/share/octave/site/m/startup/octaverc
	      Site-wide  initialization file which changes options for all users.  octave-home is the directory where Octave was installed such as
	      /usr/local.

       octave-home/share/octave/version/m/startup/octaverc
	      Site-wide initialization file for Octave version version.

       ~/.octaverc
	      User's personal initialization file.

       .octaverc
	      Project-specific initialization file located in the current directory.
