Previous: Assignments, Up: Primitive expression types [Index]
Semantics: Both include and include-ci take one or more
filenames expressed as string literals, apply an implementation-specific
algorithm to find corresponding files, read the contents of the files in the
specified order as if by repeated applications of read, and effectively
replace the include or include-ci expression with a
begin expression containing what was read from the files. The
difference between the two is that include-ci reads each file as if
it began with the #!fold-case directive, while include does
not.
Note: Implementations are encouraged to search for files in the directory which contains the including file, and to provide a way for users to specify other directories to search.
