OCTAVE(1) General Commands Manual OCTAVE(1) NAME octave - A high-level interactive programming language for numerical computations. SYNOPSIS octave [options]... [file] DESCRIPTION Octave is a high-level interactive scientific programming language. It has a powerful mathematics-oriented syntax for solving problems numeri- cally, as well as built-in 2-D/3-D plotting and visualization tools. Octave provides an integrated development environment in either graphi- cal or command-line form. Programs may also be run in batch mode to process data without interaction. 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 documentation 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 installed on many systems as well. The latest version of the documen- tation is available at <https://docs.octave.org/latest>. BUGS The Octave project maintains a bug tracker at <https:// bugs.octave.org>. Before submitting a new item please read the in- structions at <https://www.octave.org/bugs.html> on 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.
