: val = built_in_docstrings_file ()

: old_val = built_in_docstrings_file (new_val)

: built_in_docstrings_file (new_val, "local")

Query or set the internal variable that specifies the name of the file containing docstrings for built-in Octave functions.

The default value is octave-home/share/octave/version/etc/built-in-docstrings, in which octave-home is the root directory of the Octave installation, and version is the Octave version number. The default value may be overridden by the environment variable OCTAVE_BUILT_IN_DOCSTRINGS_FILE, or the command line argument --built-in-docstrings-file FNAME.

Note: This variable is only used when Octave is initializing itself. Modifying it during a running session of Octave will have no effect.
