IGAWK(1) Utility Commands IGAWK(1)NAME
igawk - gawk with include files

DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1).

@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
