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 addi-
       tion, 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
