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


SYNOPSIS

       octave [options]


OPTIONS

       The complete set of command-line  options  for  octave  is
       available by running the command

           octave --help


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.


DOCUMENTATION

       The primary documentation for Octave is written using Tex­
       info,  the GNU documentation system, which allows the same
       source files to be used to  produce  on-line  and  printed
       versions of the manual.

       You  can read the on-line copy of the Octave documentation
       by issuing the command

           octave:13> help -i

       while running Octave interactively, by using the GNU Emacs
       info  mode, or by running standalone programs like info or
       xinfo.


BUGS

       The best way to submit a bug report for Octave is  to  use
       the command

            octave:13> bug_report

       while  running  Octave  interactively.  This will create a
       template bug report file and start an editor on that file.
       Your  message  will be sent to the bug-octave mailing list
       once you are finished editing the template.

       If you are unable to use the bug_report command, send your
       message  to  the bug-octave@bevo.che.wisc.edu mailing list
       by some other means.  Please read the  `Bugs'  chapter  in
       the  Octave  manual to find out how to submit a bug report
       that will enable the Octave maintainers to fix  the  prob­
       lem.
