There are two additional support functions that allow the user to interrogate where in the execution of a script Octave entered the debug mode and to print the code in the script surrounding the point where Octave entered debug mode.
List script file with line numbers.

Debug mode equally allows single line stepping through a function using
the commands dbstep
and dbnext
. These differ slightly in
the way they treat the next executable line if the next line itself is a
function defined in an m-file. The dbnext
command will execute
the next line, while staying in the existing function being debugged.
The dbstep
command will step in to the new function.
