: val = page_output_immediately ()
: old_val = page_output_immediately (new_val)
: page_output_immediately (new_val, "local")

Query or set the internal variable that controls whether Octave sends output to the pager as soon as it is available.

Otherwise, Octave buffers its output and waits until just before the prompt is printed to flush it to the pager.

When called from inside a function with the "local" option, the variable is changed locally for the function and any subroutines it calls. The original variable value is restored when exiting the function.
