is read.

Mandatory or optional  arguments  to  long  options  are  mandatory  or

optional for short options too.

Operation modes:

--help display this help and exit

--version

output version information and exit

-E, --fatal-warnings

once:  warnings  become  errors,  twice: stop execution at first

error

-i, --interactive

unbuffer output, ignore interrupts

-P, --prefix-builtins

force a ‘m4_’ prefix to all builtins

-Q, --quiet, --silent

suppress some warnings for builtins

--warn-macro-sequence[=REGEXP]

warn   if   macro    definition    matches    REGEXP,    default

\$\({[^}]*}\|[0-9][0-9]+\)

Preprocessor features:

-D, --define=NAME[=VALUE]

define NAME as having VALUE, or empty

-I, --include=DIRECTORY

append DIRECTORY to include path

-s, --synclines

generate ‘#line NUM "FILE"’ lines

-U, --undefine=NAME

undefine NAME

Limits control:

-G, --traditional

suppress all GNU extensions

-H, --hashsize=PRIME

set symbol lookup hash table size [509]

-L, --nesting-limit=NUMBER

change artificial nesting limit [1024]

Frozen state files:

-F, --freeze-state=FILE

produce a frozen state on FILE at end

-R, --reload-state=FILE

reload a frozen state from FILE at start

Debugging:

-d, --debug[=FLAGS]

set debug level (no FLAGS implies ‘aeq’)

--debugfile=FILE

redirect debug and trace output

-l, --arglength=NUM

restrict macro tracing size

-t, --trace=NAME

trace NAME when it is defined

FLAGS is any of:

a      show actual arguments

c      show before collect, after collect and after call

e      show expansion

f      say current input file name

i      show changes in input files

l      say current input line number

p      show results of path searches

q      quote values as necessary, with a or e flag

t      trace for all macro calls, not only traceon’ed

x      add a unique macro call id, useful with c flag

V      shorthand for all of the above flags

If defined, the environment variable ‘M4PATH’ is a colon-separated list

of directories included after any specified by ‘-I’.

Exit status is 0 for success, 1 for failure, 63 for frozen file version

mismatch, or whatever value was passed to the m4exit macro.
