65 <para>copies the given files while expanding the macros that they
66 contain. These macros are either built-in or user-defined and can
67 take any number of arguments. Besides performing macro expansion,
68 <command>m4</command> has built-in functions for including named
69 files, running Unix commands, performing integer arithmetic,
70 manipulating text, recursion, etc. The <command>m4</command>
71 program can be used either as a front-end to a compiler or as a
72 macro processor in its own right.</para>
