Running Octave Functions From Shell

Question

Say that I have a script myScript.m, I know I can do the following from shell:

octave -q myScript.m

and it will run the script.

However, what if I have a function myFunction.m, which takes in a string:

can I do?

octave -q myFunction('myString')

???
