- <para>M4 is a macro processor. It copies input to output, expanding
- macros as it goes. Macros are either built-in or user-defined and can
- take any number of arguments. Besides just doing macro expansion, m4
- has built-in functions for including named files, running Unix
- commands, doing integer arithmetic, manipulating text in various ways,
- recursion, etc. The m4 program can be used either as a front-end to a
- compiler or as a macro processor in its own right.</para>
