## @deftypefn  {Command} {} pkg @var{command} @var{pkg_name}
## @deftypefnx {Command} {} pkg @var{command} @var{option} @var{pkg_name}
## Manage packages (groups of add-on functions) for Octave.  Different actions
## are available depending on the value of @var{command}.
##
## Available commands:
##
## @table @samp
##
## @item install
## Install named packages.  For example,
##
## @example
## pkg install image-1.0.0.tar.gz
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## installs the package found in the file @file{image-1.0.0.tar.gz}.
##
## The @var{option} variable can contain options that affect the manner
## in which a package is installed.  These options can be one or more of
##
## @table @code
## @item -nodeps
## The package manager will disable dependency checking.  With this option it
## is possible to install a package even when it depends on another package
## which is not installed on the system.  @strong{Use this option with care.}
##
## @item -noauto
## The package manager will not automatically load the installed package
## when starting Octave.  This overrides any setting within the package.
##
## @item -auto
## The package manager will automatically load the installed package when
## starting Octave.  This overrides any setting within the package.
##
## @item -local
## A local installation (package available only to current user) is forced,
## even if the user has system privileges.
##
## @item -global
## A global installation (package available to all users) is forced, even if
## the user doesn't normally have system privileges.
##
## @item -forge
## Install a package directly from the Octave-Forge repository.  This
## requires an internet connection and the cURL library.
##
## @item -verbose
## The package manager will print the output of all commands as
## they are performed.
## @end table
##
## @item update
## Check installed Octave-Forge packages against repository and update any
## outdated items.  This requires an internet connection and the cURL library.
## Usage:
##
## @example
## pkg update
## @end example
##
## @item uninstall
## Uninstall named packages.  For example,
##
## @example
## pkg uninstall image
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## removes the @code{image} package from the system.  If another installed
## package depends on the @code{image} package an error will be issued.
## The package can be uninstalled anyway by using the @option{-nodeps} option.
##
## @item load
## Add named packages to the path.  After loading a package it is
## possible to use the functions provided by the package.  For example,
##
## @example
## pkg load image
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## adds the @code{image} package to the path.  It is possible to load all
## installed packages at once with the keyword @samp{all}.  Usage:
##
## @example
## pkg load all
## @end example
##
## @item unload
## Remove named packages from the path.  After unloading a package it is
## no longer possible to use the functions provided by the package.  It is
## possible to unload all installed packages at once with the keyword
## @samp{all}.  Usage:
##
## @example
## pkg unload all
## @end example
##
## @item list
## Show the list of currently installed packages.  For example,
##
## @example
## installed_packages = pkg ("list")
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## returns a cell array containing a structure for each installed package.
##
## If two output arguments are requested @code{pkg} splits the list of
## installed packages into those which were installed by the current user,
## and those which were installed by the system administrator.
##
## @example
## [user_packages, system_packages] = pkg ("list")
## @end example
##
## The option @qcode{"-forge"} lists packages available at the Octave-Forge
## repository.  This requires an internet connection and the cURL library.
## For example:
##
## @example
## oct_forge_pkgs = pkg ("list", "-forge")
## @end example
##
## @item describe
## Show a short description of the named installed packages, with the option
## @qcode{"-verbose"} also list functions provided by the package.  For example,
##
## @example
## pkg describe -verbose all
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## will describe all installed packages and the functions they provide.
## If one output is requested a cell of structure containing the
## description and list of functions of each package is returned as
## output rather than printed on screen:
##
## @example
## desc = pkg ("describe", "secs1d", "image")
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## If any of the requested packages is not installed, pkg returns an
## error, unless a second output is requested:
##
## @example
## [desc, flag] = pkg ("describe", "secs1d", "image")
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## @var{flag} will take one of the values @qcode{"Not installed"},
## @qcode{"Loaded"}, or
## @qcode{"Not loaded"} for each of the named packages.
##
## @item prefix
## Set the installation prefix directory.  For example,
##
## @example
## pkg prefix ~/my_octave_packages
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## sets the installation prefix to @file{~/my_octave_packages}.
## Packages will be installed in this directory.
##
## It is possible to get the current installation prefix by requesting an
## output argument.  For example:
##
## @example
## pfx = pkg ("prefix")
## @end example
##
## The location in which to install the architecture dependent files can be
## independently specified with an addition argument.  For example:
##
## @example
## pkg prefix ~/my_octave_packages ~/my_arch_dep_pkgs
## @end example
##
## @item local_list
## Set the file in which to look for information on locally
## installed packages.  Locally installed packages are those that are
## available only to the current user.  For example:
##
## @example
## pkg local_list ~/.octave_packages
## @end example
##
## It is possible to get the current value of local_list with the following
##
## @example
## pkg local_list
## @end example
##
## @item global_list
## Set the file in which to look for information on globally
## installed packages.  Globally installed packages are those that are
## available to all users.  For example:
##
## @example
## pkg global_list /usr/share/octave/octave_packages
## @end example
##
## It is possible to get the current value of global_list with the following
##
## @example
## pkg global_list
## @end example
##
## @item build
## Build a binary form of a package or packages.  The binary file produced
## will itself be an Octave package that can be installed normally with
## @code{pkg}.  The form of the command to build a binary package is
##
## @example
## pkg build builddir image-1.0.0.tar.gz @dots{}
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## where @code{builddir} is the name of a directory where the temporary
## installation will be produced and the binary packages will be found.
## The options @option{-verbose} and @option{-nodeps} are respected, while
## all other options are ignored.
##
## @item rebuild
## Rebuild the package database from the installed directories.  This can
## be used in cases where the package database has been corrupted.
## It can also take the @option{-auto} and @option{-noauto} options to allow the
## autoloading state of a package to be changed.  For example,
##
## @example
