Overview

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 Texinfo, 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 [email protected] 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 problem.
