## Save the unique portion of the current function search path to @var{file}.
##
## The list of folders that are saved in @var{file} does @emph{not} include
## the folders that are added for Octave's own functions, those that belong to
## Octave packages (@pxref{XREFpkg,,pkg load}), and those added via command
## line switches.
##
## If @var{file} is omitted, Octave looks in the current directory for a
## project-specific @file{.octaverc} file in which to save the path
## information.  If no such file is present then the user's configuration file
## @file{~/.octaverc} is used.
##
## If successful, @code{savepath} returns 0.
##
## The @code{savepath} function makes it simple to customize a user's
## configuration file to restore the working paths necessary for a particular
## instance of Octave.  Assuming no filename is specified, Octave will
## automatically restore the saved directory paths from the appropriate
## @file{.octaverc} file when starting up.  If a filename has been specified
## then the paths may be restored manually by calling @code{source @var{file}}.
