It copies input to output expanding macros as it +goes. Macros are either builtin or user-defined and can take any number +of arguments. Besides just doing macro expansion m4 has builtin functions +for including named files, running UNIX commands, doing integer arithmetic, +manipulating text in various ways, recursion, etc. M4 can be used either +as a front-end to a compiler or as a macro processor in its own right. +</para> + +</sect2> + |
