@include getopt.awk

in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path.

## OPTIONS

See gawk (1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports.

## EXAMPLES

    cat << EOF > test.awk
    @include getopt.awk
    BEGIN {
    	while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1)
    		.^.^.
    }
    EOF
    igawk -f test.awk
