Command descriptions have a format similar to function descriptions,
except that the word `Function' is replaced by `Command'. Commands are
functions that may be called without surrounding their arguments in
parentheses. For example, here is the description for Octave's
diary
command:
Record a list of all commands and the output they produce, mixed together just as they appear on the terminal.
Valid options are:
- on
- Start recording a session in a file called diary in the current working directory.
- off
- Stop recording the session in the diary file.
- filename
- Record the session in the file named filename.
With no arguments,
diary
toggles the current diary state.See also: history.
