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
stop execution after first warning
−i, −−interactive
unbuffer output, ignore interrupts
−P, −−prefix−builtins
force a ’m4_’ prefix to all builtins
−Q, −−quiet, −−silent
suppress some warnings for builtins
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 |

|
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.
