## Synopsis

## Description

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.

## 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
