NAME

inelim - eliminate include statements

SYNOPSIS

inelim [ -v ] [ -ppattern ] [ files ]

DESCRIPTION

inelim reads the specified files or the standard input and performs the implied textual inclusion. The include statement has as default the format:

include somefile

when they appear in beginning of input lines. Before somefile is accessed, the file name will go through tilde and environment substitution, in a manner like csh(1). If the file name does not begin with '/', the include file is opened relative to the directory location of the current file. If the file name begins with '|', the rest of the line is fed to sh(1), and data from stdout is substituted in place of the include line. If The file name is just '-', the stdin will be read for data to substitute the inclusion line with.

The command line options are:

-ppattern: pattern will be used instead of include to detect include statements. Subsequent whitespace is skipped and the rest of the line is taken as the name of the file to include.
-v: verbose operation. Each line on the standard output is preceded by the input file name and line number.

ENVIRONMENT

All environment variables may be substituted into an inclusion file name.
