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

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 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.
