OCTAVE(1) General Commands Manual OCTAVE(1) NAME octave - A high-level interactive programming language for numerical compu- tations. SYNOPSIS octave [options]... [file] DESCRIPTION Octave is a high-level interactive scientific programming language. It has a powerful mathematics-oriented syntax for solving problems numerically, as well as built-in 2-D/3-D plotting and visualization tools. Octave provides an integrated development environment in either graphical or command-line form. Programs may also be run in batch mode to process data without in- teraction. OPTIONS A list of the most useful 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 doc- umentation system, which allows the same source files to be used to produce online and printed versions of the manual. You can read the built-in 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 in- stalled on many systems as well. The latest version of the documentation is available at https://docs.octave.org/latest.
