Multiple files on the Command line

A sequence of input files can be specified by positional parameters on the command line if the Include module is instantiated as follows:

   $/Input/Include.gnrc +referto=positionals :inst
In this case, the CLP specification exported by the Include module will be (see Specifying the command line interface of Command line processing):

   IncludeDirs "-I" joinedto strings
      "Directories to search for included files";
   Source input
      "Primary input file";
   Sources positionals
      "Additional input files named on the command line";
The general form of a command line that can be recognized using this CLP specification is:

  1. A program name, followed by
  2. An arbitrary number of -I options, followed by
  3. One or more file names.
Here is an example:

   DemoProc -IsubDir -I/usr/local/etc DemoText AddedText
The effect of this command line is that the input text to DemoProc consists of the content of DemoText (with all inclusion commands expanded) followed by the content of AddedText (with all inclusion commands expanded). The CLP specification permits an arbitrary number of additional file names (see Positional parameters of Command line processing).

Do not specify additional positional parameters in type-clp files when using the Include module. If it is necessary to provide file names on the command line for purposes other than text input, use options to specify those names (see Value options of Command line processing).
