Getting help


The pkg command is very flexible and can be called with a number of options. You can see all these options by typing the following:

octave:9> help pkg

The help documentation is rather long for pkg. You can scroll up and down in the text using the arrow keys or the F and B keys. You can quit the help anytime by pressing the Q key. The previous example illustrates the help text for pkg. Help is also available for other Octave commands. You may try, for example, help PS1.
