These directives are used -to automate the writting of parts of the document. -.PP -The preprocessing directives start with a symbol (or -text string) specified by the developer. By default -this symbol is \fB@\fP (at). -.PP -Any line starting with \fB@<\fP (where \fB@\fP is -the selected symbol for preprocessing directives) -or \fB@>\fP, or is between a line starting with -\fB@<\fP and a line starting with \fB@>\fP, is parsed -as a line, written in -.BR bash (1), -that is executed during preprocessing. A \fB@<\fP -line must have an associated \fB@>\fP line somewhere -after it, all lines between them are parsed as -preprocessing directives. A \fB@>\fP does however -not need an associated \fB@<\fP line somewhere before -it, making \fB@>\fP suitable for single line directives. -.PP -Preprocessing directives can also be inline. For this, -use -.BI @( COMMAND ) -where -.I COMMAND -is the -.BR bash (1) -code to run. Additionally, -.B gpp -supports variable substitution. -.BI @{ VARIABLE } -will be replaces by the value if the variable -(possibility environment variable) -.IR VARIABLE . -.B gpp -supports all modifiers that -.BR bash (1) -supports. For example, if you want the value to be -included but uppercase you can write -.BR @{ \fIVARIABLE\fP ^^} , -or -.BI @{ VARIABLE ,,} -for lowercase. -.PP -Everything that is not preprocessing directives is -threaded as -.BR echo (1):ed -lines. -.SH OPTIONS -.TP -.BR \-s ,\ \-\-symbol \ \fISYMBOL\fP -Set the prefix symbol for preprocessor directives. -Defaults to @ (at). -.TP -.BR \-e ,\ \-\-encoding \ \fIENCODING\fP -Specifies the encoding of the file. -.TP -.BR \-n ,\ \-\-iterations \ \fIN\fP -Process the file recursively \fIN\fP times. Defaults to 1 time. -.TP -.BR \-u ,\ \-\-unshebang -Clear the shebang line, remove it if this flag -is used twice. If used twice, an empty line -will be inserted after the new first line. -.TP -.BR \-i ,\ \-\-input \ \fIFILE\fP -Select file to process. Defaults to /dev/stdin. -.TP -.BR \-o ,\ \-\-output \ \fIFILE\fP -Select output file. Defaults to /dev/stdout. -.TP -.BR \-f ,\ \-\-file \ \fIFILE\fP -Equivalent to \-i \fIFILE\fP \-o \fIFILE\fP. -.TP -.BR \-D ,\ \-\-export \ \fINAME\fP=\fIVALUE\fP -Set the environment variable \fINAME\fP to hold -the value \fIVALUE\fP. -.TP -.BR \-D ,\ \-\-export \ \fINAME\fP -Set the environment variable \fINAME\fP to hold -the value 1. -.TP -.BR \-v ,\ \-\-version -Print program name and version and exit. -.TP -.BR \-c ,\ \-\-copying -Print copyright notice and exit. -.PP -Short options must be joined. The value of a flag must -be in a separate argument from the flag itself. -.SH RATIONALE -Programmers need more automation when we write software -and documentation. An unrestricted preprocessor lets -you automate just about anything. Of course, it can be -used for anything, must just writing software and -documentation. Preprocessing can be used for more than -automation, it can also be used to increase the flexibility -of the work. -.PP -C is one of the few languages that includes a preprocessor, -some times it is not enough; and all languages need -preprocessors. -.SH "SEE ALSO" -.BR bash (1), -.BR jpp (1), -.BR cpp (1), -.BR env (1) -.PP -Full documentation available locally via: info \(aq(gpp)\(aq -.SH AUTHORS -Principal author, Mattias Andrée.
