IGAWK(1)                 Utility Commands                IGAWK(1)

NAME
       igawk - gawk with include files

SYNOPSIS
       igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ...
       igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ...

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
