octave: Invoking Octave from the Command Line

 
 2.1 Invoking Octave from the Command Line
 =========================================
 
 Normally, Octave is used interactively by running the program ‘octave’
 without any arguments.  Once started, Octave reads commands from the
 terminal until you tell it to exit.
 
    You can also specify the name of a file on the command line, and
 Octave will read and execute the commands from the named file and then
 exit when it is finished.
 
    You can further control how Octave starts by using the command-line
 options described in the next section, and Octave itself can remind you
 of the options available.  Type ‘octave --help’ to display all available
 options and briefly describe their use (‘octave -h’ is a shorter
 equivalent).
