2*a9fa9459Szrj@c expandargv.
3*a9fa9459Szrj
4*a9fa9459Szrj@item @@@var{file}
5*a9fa9459SzrjRead command-line options from @var{file}.  The options read are
6*a9fa9459Szrjinserted in place of the original @@@var{file} option.  If @var{file}
7*a9fa9459Szrjdoes not exist, or cannot be read, then the option will be treated
8*a9fa9459Szrjliterally, and not removed.
9*a9fa9459Szrj
10*a9fa9459SzrjOptions in @var{file} are separated by whitespace.  A whitespace
11*a9fa9459Szrjcharacter may be included in an option by surrounding the entire
12*a9fa9459Szrjoption in either single or double quotes.  Any character (including a
13*a9fa9459Szrjbackslash) may be included by prefixing the character to be included
14*a9fa9459Szrjwith a backslash.  The @var{file} may itself contain additional
15*a9fa9459Szrj@@@var{file} options; any such options will be processed recursively.
