If a `@file' option is given in the command line, a response file by the name of file will be used, i.e. options and commands are preloaded from that file. A response file may contain options and commands -- which are preloaded by Gcal ---, but no reference to further response files. If such references to further response files are found, they are ignored. See section Global options, for hints how to generate a response file automatically.
The searching scheme for a response file is the same as that for resource files, except no standard response file is respected. See section Resource file, for more details. Multiple response files may be given in the command line when Gcal is started, and they are processed exactly in that order as given, i.e. strictly sequential.
Each option and command must be on a single line, i.e. separated by a real `\n' (newline) character. A line beginning with a `;' (semicolon) character in the response file is treated as a remark and will not be used by Gcal (see section Comment line).
Options must be defined before commands. If a response file contains any commands, then all further arguments after the `@file' option of the command line are ignored.
For example:
Line Text 1 -j 2 -Cw EOF $ gcal -i -b 3 @file -s 3 1994 ==> gcal -i -b 3 -j -Cw -s 3 1994
Line Text 1 -j 2 -Cw 3 may 1992 EOF $ gcal -i -b 3 @file -s 3 1994 ==> gcal -i -b 3 -j -Cw may
Line Text 1 -j 2 -Cw 3 may 4 1992 EOF $ gcal -i -b 3 @file -s 3 1994 ==> gcal -i -b 3 -j -Cw may 1992
