igawk - gawk with include files
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -\^- ] file .^.^.
igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -\^- ] program-text file .^.^.
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk (1).
AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk , except that, in addition, you may have lines like
@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.
See gawk (1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports.
cat << EOF > test.awk
@include getopt.awk
BEGIN {
while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1)
.^.^.
}
EOF
igawk -f test.awk
gawk (1)
