<h3 class="section">13.1 Entering Debug Mode</h3>
<p>There are two basic means of interrupting the execution of an Octave
script. These are breakpoints (see <a href="Breakpoints.html#Breakpoints">Breakpoints</a>), discussed in the next
section, and interruption based on some condition.
</p>
<p>Octave supports three means to stop execution based on the values set in
the functions <code>debug_on_interrupt</code>, <code>debug_on_warning</code>, and
<code>debug_on_error</code>.
</p>
<a name="XREFdebug_005fon_005finterrupt"></a><dl>
<dt><a name="index-debug_005fon_005finterrupt"></a>Built-in Function: <em><var>val</var> =</em> <strong>debug_on_interrupt</strong> <em>()</em></dt>
<dt><a name="index-debug_005fon_005finterrupt-1"></a>Built-in Function: <em><var>old_val</var> =</em> <strong>debug_on_interrupt</strong> <em>(<var>new_val</var>)</em></dt>
<dt><a name="index-debug_005fon_005finterrupt-2"></a>Built-in Function: <em></em> <strong>debug_on_interrupt</strong> <em>(<var>new_val</var>, "local")</em></dt>
<dd><p>Query or set the internal variable that controls whether Octave will try
to enter debugging mode when it receives an interrupt signal (typically
generated with <kbd>C-c</kbd>).
</p>
<p>If a second interrupt signal is received before reaching the debugging mode,
a normal interrupt will occur.
</p>
<p>When called from inside a function with the <code>"local"</code> option, the
variable is changed locally for the function and any subroutines it calls.
The original variable value is restored when exiting the function.
</p>

<p>This will also inhibit printing of the normal traceback message (you will
only see the top-level error message).
