@deftypefn  {Built-in Function} {} error (@var{template}, @dots{})\n\
@deftypefnx {Built-in Function} {} error (@var{id}, @var{template}, @dots{})\n\
Format the optional arguments under the control of the template string\n\
@var{template} using the same rules as the @code{printf} family of\n\
functions (@pxref{Formatted Output}) and print the resulting message\n\
on the @code{stderr} stream.  The message is prefixed by the character\n\
string @samp{error: }.\n\
\n\
Calling @code{error} also sets Octave's internal error state such that\n\
control will return to the top level without evaluating any more\n\
commands.  This is useful for aborting from functions or scripts.\n\
\n\
If the error message does not end with a new line character, Octave will\n\
print a traceback of all the function calls leading to the error.  For\n\
example, given the following function definitions:\n\
\n\
@example\n\
@group\n\
function f () g (); end\n\
function g () h (); end\n\
function h () nargin == 1 || error (\"nargin != 1\"); end\n\
@end group\n\
@end example\n\
\n\
@noindent\n\
calling the function @code{f} will result in a list of messages that\n\
can help you to quickly locate the exact location of the error:\n\
\n\
@example\n\
@group\n\
f ()\n\
error: nargin != 1\n\
error: called from:\n\
error:   error at line -1, column -1\n\
error:   h at line 1, column 27\n\
error:   g at line 1, column 15\n\
error:   f at line 1, column 15\n\
@end group\n\
@end example\n\
\n\
If the error message ends in a new line character, Octave will print the\n\
message but will not display any traceback messages as it returns\n\
control to the top level.  For example, modifying the error message\n\
in the previous example to end in a new line causes Octave to only print\n\
a single message:\n\
\n\
@example\n\
@group\n\
function h () nargin == 1 || error (\"nargin != 1\\n\"); end\n\
f ()\n\
error: nargin != 1\n\

@deftypefn {Built-in Function} {} usage (@var{msg})\n\
Print the message @var{msg}, prefixed by the string @samp{usage: }, and\n\
set Octave's internal error state such that control will return to the\n\
top level without evaluating any more commands.  This is useful for\n\
aborting from functions.\n\
\n\
After @code{usage} is evaluated, Octave will print a traceback of all\n\
the function calls leading to the usage message.\n\
\n\
You should use this function for reporting problems errors that result\n\
from an improper call to a function, such as calling a function with an\n\
incorrect number of arguments, or with arguments of the wrong type.  For\n\
example, most functions distributed with Octave begin with code like\n\
this\n\
\n\
@example\n\
@group\n\
if (nargin != 2)\n\
  usage (\"foo (a, b)\");\n\
endif\n\
@end group\n\
@end example\n\
\n\
@noindent\n\
to check for the proper number of arguments.\n\
