Subject:Advice needed on "Include" files From:Thomas Quine <thomas -dot- quine -at- NCOMPASSLABS -dot- COM> Date:Mon, 12 Oct 1998 11:53:50 -0700
Many programming languages use "include" files. Include files are a sort of
sub-file that gets called by a source program from within its own code -
i.e., it gets "included."
At my workplace, these files are called "includes". Seems wrong to me. But
I have to document them for other programmers, so I need some advice.
Has anyone had experience writing about these sorts of files? What do you
call them?
