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
       solving 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 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 http://bugs.octave.org.

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.
