OCTAVE-CLI(1)		    General Commands Manual		 OCTAVE-CLI(1)

NAME
       octave-cli  -  A	high-level interactive language	for numerical computa-
       tions.

SYNOPSIS
       octave-cli [options]... [file]

DESCRIPTION
       Octave is a high-level language,	primarily intended for numerical  com-
       putations.  It provides a convenient command line interface for solving
       linear  and  nonlinear  problems	numerically.  octave-cli has been com-
       piled without any GUI support (Qt) which	makes it smaller than the  de-
       fault  octave executable, but also limits it to providing just the com-
       mand line interface (CLI).

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

	   octave-cli --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 online and printed versions of the manual.

       You can read the	online 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 https://bugs.octave.org.
       Before  submitting  a  new  item	 please	 read  the   instructions   at
       https://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 di-
	      rectory.
