Important Notice
The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software,
purely for historical purposes.
If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming,
you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully
out of date.

Directive: #include
Syntax: #include "path-spec"
#include <path-spec>
Summary: Inserts the contents of the file specified by path-spec
into the current file. If the path-spec contains the
complete drive and path specification, that file is
included without searching any directories. If path-spec
is enclosed in double quotation marks, the directory of
the file containing the #include directive is searched.
If the current file is also an include file, the
directory of the parent file is searched. This search
continues recursively through all the nested include
files until the original source file's directory is
searched.
If the file is still not found or if the path-spec is
enclosed in angle brackets, the next directories searched
are the ones specified using the /I command-line option.
After those have been searched, the compiler searches the
directories specified in the INCLUDE environment
variable.
