Help

Octave's help command can be used to print brief usage-style messages, or to display information directly from an on-line version of the printed manual, using the GNU Info browser. If invoked without any arguments, help prints a list of all the available operators, functions, and built-in variables. If the first argument is -i, the help command searches the index of the on-line version of this manual for the given topics.

For example, the command

help help

prints a short message describing the help command, and

help -i help

starts the GNU Info browser at this node in the on-line version of the manual.

See section Using Info, for complete details about how to use the GNU Info browser to read the on-line version of the manual.
