The [[awk]] extraction and reporting language does not support the use of include files. However, it is possible to provide the name of more than one source file at the command line. === _Using multiple source files_ In awk, it is possible to provide the name of more than one source file at the command line by using multiple !-f switches: {{{ awk -f one.awk -f two.awk }}} === _Functions in different source files will be visible_ The functions defined in different source files will be visible from other scripts called from the same command line: {{{ # one.awk BEGIN { sayhello() } # two.awk function sayhello() { print "Hello world" } }}} === _Function names must be unique across all used sources_ When more than one source file is provided at the command line, function names must be unique across all source files. === _There should not be more than one filename on the hashbang line_ It is not permissible to pass the name of additional source files through a hashbang line, because there should not be more than one parameter on the hashbang line after the interpreter name. The following hashbang line will not work: {{{ #!/usr/bin/awk -f two.awk }}}
