Node: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.
