<h4 class="subsubsection">14.1.3.1 Saving Data on Unexpected Exits</h4>

<p>If Octave for some reason exits unexpectedly it will by default save the
variables available in the workspace to a file in the current directory.
By default this file is named &lsquo;<samp>octave-workspace</samp>&rsquo; and can be loaded
into memory with the <code>load</code> command.  While the default behavior
most often is reasonable it can be changed through the following
functions.

to save all current variables to the file <samp>octave-workspace</samp> if it
crashes or receives a hangup, terminate or similar signal.
</p>
<p>When called from inside a function with the <code>&quot;local&quot;</code> option, the
variable is changed locally for the function and any subroutines it calls.
The original variable value is restored when exiting the function.
