@verbatiminclude file: Include a File Verbatim
You can include the exact contents of a file in the document with the
@verbatiminclude command:
@verbatiminclude filename
The contents of filename is printed in a verbatim environment
(see @verbatim). 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 @verbatiminclude within @example
(see @example).
The name of the file is taken literally, with a single exception:
@value{var} references are expanded. This makes it
possible to reliably include files in other directories in a
distribution, for instance:
@include @value{top_srcdir}/NEWS
(You still have to get top_srcdir defined in the
first place.)
