A Sample Command Description Next: A Sample Variable Description Previous: A Sample Function Description Up: Format of Descriptions
Command descriptions have a format similar to function descriptions
except that the word `Function' is replaced by `Command. Commands are
functions that may called without surrounding their arguments in
parentheses. For example here is the description for Octave's
cd command:
| cd dir | Command |
| chdir dir | Command |
Change the current working directory to dir. For example
cd ~/octave changes the current working directory to
~/octave. If the directory does not exist an error message is
printed and the working directory is not changed.
