NAME

       dh_octave_check - automatically run an Octave-Forge package test suite

SYNOPSIS

       dh_octave_check

DESCRIPTION

       dh_octave_check performs the automated tests present in both *.m and C++ files in the sub-directories of
       the current directory, which should be the top-level source directory of an Octave add-on package.  It
       also runs the script debian/check.m, if it exists.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       Some aspects of the execution of dh_octave_check can be controlled through the environment variables
       listed below.  These variables can also be set in file "debian/checkvars", which is sourced by
       dh_octave_check.

           "verbose".

       DH_OCTAVE_TEST_ENV
           Prefix for calling the Octave command.  It can be used for setting environment variables to  Sensible

           (like "xvfb-run").

           --no-window-system").
