Command: ifdef - remove #ifdefs from a file
Syntax: ifdef [-t] [-dsymbol] [-Dsymbol] [-Usymbol] [-Isymbol] [file]
Flags: -D Define symbol permanently
-I Ignore symbol
-U Undefine symbol permanently
-d Define symbol. It may be #undef'ed later
-t Produce a table of the symbols on stdout
Examples: ifdef -DUNIX file.c >newfile.c # Define UNIX
ifdef -D_MINIX -UDOS <x.c >y.c # Define
Ifdef allows conditional code [ #ifdef ... #endif ] to be
selectively removed from C files, but at the same time leaving all other
C preprocessor commands intact such as #define, #include etc. Input to
ifdef is either the file named as the last argument, or stdin if no file
is named. Output goes to stdout.
Symbols may be defined with the -d or -D flags just like cpp,
except that the latter option ignores subsequent #undefs. It is not
permitted to give values to symbols. Similarly, -U undefines a symbol
and ignores subsequent #definess. Symbols defined with -I are ignored;
any #ifdef using an ignored symbol will be left intact.
