<p>You can include the exact contents of a file in the document with the
<code class="code">@verbatiminclude</code> command:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">@verbatiminclude <var class="var">filename</var>
</pre></div>
<p>The contents of <var class="var">filename</var> is printed in a verbatim environment
(see <a class="pxref" href="_0040verbatim.html"><code class="code">@verbatim</code>: Literal Text</a>). Generally, the file is printed exactly
as it is, with all special characters and white space retained. No
indentation is added; if you want indentation, enclose the
<code class="code">@verbatiminclude</code> within <code class="code">@example</code>
(see <a class="pxref" href="_0040example.html"><code class="code">@example</code>: Example Text</a>).
</p>
<p>The name of the file is taken literally, with a single exception:
<code class="code">@value{<var class="var">var</var>}</code> references are expanded. This makes it
possible to include files in other directories within a distribution,
for instance:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">@verbatiminclude @value{top_srcdir}/NEWS
</pre></div>
<p>(You still have to get <code class="code">top_srcdir</code> defined in the
first place.)
</p>
<p>For a method on printing the file contents in a smaller font size, see
the end of the section on <code class="code">@verbatim</code>.
