OCTAVE-CLI(1) General Commands Manual OCTAVE-CLI(1)
NAME
octave-cli - A high-level interactive language for numerical computa-
tions.
SYNOPSIS
octave-cli [options]... [file]
DESCRIPTION
Octave is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical com-
putations. It provides a convenient command line interface for solving
linear and nonlinear problems numerically. octave-cli has been com-
piled without any GUI support (Qt) which makes it smaller than the de-
fault octave executable, but also limits it to providing just the com-
mand 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
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.

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
