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

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

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

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. octave-cli has been compiled without any GUI support (Qt) which makes it smaller than the default octave executable, but also limits it to providing just the command line interface (CLI).

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

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.

The Octave project maintains a bug tracker at https://bugs.octave.org. Before submitting a new item please read the instructions at https://www.octave.org/bugs.html on how to submit a useful report.

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.
