Command Reference    2.  Synopsys Commands                include



NAME
          include        Executes a script of dc_shell commands.


SYNTAX
          int include [-quiet] file

          string file


ARGUMENTS
          -quiet         Don't echo the commands as they are
                         executed.

          file           The name of the script file containing
                         the dc_shell commands to be executed.
                         The file may be either a simple or
                         complex file name.  A simple file name
                         has no directory specification, which in
                         UNIX means that it contains no "/"
                         character.  Simple file names such as
                         "script.dc" are found by searching each
                         of the search_path directories for the
                         file name.  A complex file name has a
                         directory specification within it, which
                         in UNIX means that it contains the "/"
                         character.  Complex file names such as
                         "./script.dc", "../script.dc", or
                         "~jerry/dc/test/script.dc" are not
                         searched for in the search_path.

                         Use the which command to find out the
                         file from the search_path that will be
                         included when a simple file name is
                         given.


DESCRIPTION
          Executes a script of dc_shell commands in the specified
          file.

          The echo_include_commands variable (default is "true")
          determines if commands in the file are printed out as
          they execute. This variable may be overridden by the
          -quiet flag.

          The include command ignores (continues to execute the
          script) all non-fatal errors and warnings, but aborts
          processing if a fatal error occurs.

EXAMPLES
          This example executes the dc_shell commands in
          "save.file" if it is in the search_path, or prints an
          error message if the file is not in one of the
          search_path directories:

                         dc_shell> include save.file
