Query or set the internal variable that controls whether Octave will\n\
do short-circuit evaluation of @samp{|} and @samp{&} operators inside the\n\
conditions of if or while statements.\n\
\n\
This feature is only provided for compatibility with @sc{matlab} and should\n\
not be used unless you are porting old code that relies on this feature.\n\
\n\
To obtain short-circuit behavior for logical expressions in new programs,\n\
you should always use the @samp{&&} and @samp{||} operators.\n\
