## @deftypefn {Function File} {} debug ()
## Summary of the debugging commands.  The debugging commands that are
## available in Octave are
##
## @table @code
## @item keyboard
## Force entry into debug mode.
##
## @item dbstop
## Add a breakpoint.
##
## @item dbclear
## Remove a breakpoint.
##
## @item dbstatus
## List all breakpoints.
##
## @item dbcont
## Continue execution from the debug prompt.
##
## @item dbstack
## Print a backtrace of the execution stack.
##
## @item dbstep
## Execute one or more lines and re-enter debug mode
##
## @item dbtype
## List the function where execution is currently stopped, enumerating
## the lines.
##
## @item dbup
## The workspace up the execution stack.
##
## @item dbdown
## The workspace down the execution stack.
##
## @item dbquit
## Quit debugging mode and return to the main prompt.
##
## @item debug_on_error
## Flag whether to enter debug mode in case Octave encounters an error.
##
## @item debug_on_warning
## Flag whether to enter debug mode in case Octave encounters a warning.
##
## @item debug_on_interrupt
## Flag whether to enter debug mode in case Octave encounters an interupt.
## 
## @end table
##
## @noindent
## when Octave encounters a breakpoint or other reason to enter debug
## mode, the prompt changes to @code{"debug>"}.  The workspace of the function
## where the breakpoint was encountered becomes available and any Octave
## command that works within that workspace may be executed.
