NAME

6       octave-cli  -  A high-level interactive language for numerical computa‐
7       tions.

SYNOPSIS

10       octave-cli [options]... [file]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       Octave is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical  com‐
14       putations.  It provides a convenient command line interface for solving
15       linear and nonlinear problems numerically.  octave-cli  has  been  com‐
16       piled  without  any  GUI  support  (Qt) which makes it smaller than the
17       default octave executable, but also limits it  to  providing  just  the
18       command line interface (CLI).
19

OPTIONS

21       The complete set of command-line options for octave-cli is available by
22       running the following command from the shell.
23
24           octave-cli --help

DOCUMENTATION

27       The primary documentation for Octave is written using Texinfo, the  GNU
28       documentation  system, which allows the same source files to be used to
29       produce online and printed versions of the manual.
30
31       You can read the online copy of the Octave documentation by issuing the
32       following command from within Octave.
33
34           octave:1> doc
35
36       The Info files may also be read with a stand-alone program such as info
37       or xinfo.  HTML, Postscript, or PDF versions of the  documentation  are
38       installed on many systems as well.

FILES

46       Upon startup Octave looks for four initialization files.  Each file may
47       contain any number of valid Octave commands.
48
49       octave-home/share/octave/site/m/startup/octaverc
50              Site-wide initialization file  which  changes  options  for  all
51              users.   octave-home is the directory where Octave was installed
52              such as /usr/local.
53
54       octave-home/share/octave/version/m/startup/octaverc
55              Site-wide initialization file for Octave version version.
56
57       ~/.octaverc
58              User's personal initialization file.
59
60       .octaverc
61              Project-specific initialization  file  located  in  the  current
