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

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

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

DESCRIPTION
     Octave  is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical computa-
     tions.  It provides a convenient command line interface for solving  linear
     and  nonlinear  problems numerically.  octave-cli has been compiled without
     any GUI support (Qt) which makes it smaller than the  default  octave  exe-
     cutable,  but  also  limits it to providing just the command 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 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  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 in-
     stalled on many systems as well.

BUGS
     The Octave project maintains a bug tracker at https://bugs.octave.org.  Be-
     fore submitting a new item please read the instructions at  https://www.oc-
     tave.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  direc-
	    tory.
