1*20fce977Smiod@c This file is designed to be included in manuals that use
2*20fce977Smiod@c expandargv.
3*20fce977Smiod
4*20fce977Smiod@item @@@var{file}
5*20fce977SmiodRead command-line options from @var{file}.  The options read are
6*20fce977Smiodinserted in place of the original @@@var{file} option.  If @var{file}
7*20fce977Smioddoes not exist, or cannot be read, then the option will be treated
8*20fce977Smiodliterally, and not removed.
9*20fce977Smiod
10*20fce977SmiodOptions in @var{file} are separated by whitespace.  A whitespace
11*20fce977Smiodcharacter may be included in an option by surrounding the entire
12*20fce977Smiodoption in either single or double quotes.  Any character (including a
13*20fce977Smiodbackslash) may be included by prefixing the character to be included
14*20fce977Smiodwith a backslash.  The @var{file} may itself contain additional
15*20fce977Smiod@@@var{file} options; any such options will be processed recursively.
