64 while otherwise leaving the file alone.

73 A directive is only processed
74 if the symbols specified on the command line are sufficient to allow
76 to get a definite value for its control expression.
77 If the result is false,
78 the directive and the following lines under its control are removed.
79 If the result is true,
80 only the directive is removed.
85 directive is passed through unchanged
86 if its controlling symbol is not specified on the command line.
91 control expression that has an unknown value or that
93 cannot parse is passed through unchanged.
100 lines with constant expressions;
101 it can be told to process them by specifying the
103 flag on the command line.
105 It understands a commonly-used subset
106 of the expression syntax for
112 integer values of symbols defined on the command line,
117 .Ic \&! , < , > , <= , >= , == , != , && , || ,
118 and parenthesized expressions.

124 if either operand is definitely false then the result is false,
125 even if the value of the other operand is unknown.
129 is definitely true then the result is true.
133 utility does not distinguish between object-like macros
134 (without arguments) and function-like arguments (with arguments).
135 If a macro is not explicitly defined, or is defined with the
137 flag on the command-line, its arguments are ignored.
138 If a macro is explicitly undefined on the command line with the
140 flag, it may not have any arguments since this leads to a syntax error.
144 utility understands just enough about C
145 to know when one of the directives is inactive
148 or affected by a backslash-continued line.
149 It spots unusually-formatted preprocessor directives
150 and knows when the layout is too odd for it to handle.
154 can be used to remove all conditional

209 Turn on printing of debugging messages.
214 processes its input one line at a time,
215 it cannot remove preprocessor directives that span more than one line.
216 The most common example of this is a directive with a multi-line
217 comment hanging off its right hand end.
221 has to process such a directive,
222 it will complain that the line is too obfuscated.
225 option changes the behaviour so that,
227 such lines are left unprocessed instead of reporting an error.
230 Always treat the result of
234 operators as unknown if either operand is unknown,
235 instead of short-circuiting when unknown operands can't affect the result.
236 This option is for compatibility with older versions of
244 lines with constant expressions.
245 By default, sections controlled by such lines are passed through unchanged
246 because they typically start
248 and are used as a kind of comment to sketch out future or past development.
249 It would be rude to strip them out, just as it would be for normal comments.
254 directives to the output following any deleted lines,
255 so that errors produced when compiling the output file correspond to
256 line numbers in the input file.
259 Write output to the file
261 instead of the standard output.
264 is the same as the input file,
265 the output is written to a temporary file
266 which is renamed into place when
268 completes successfully.
271 Instead of processing the input file as usual,
274 to produce a list of symbols that appear in expressions
278 It is useful in conjunction with the
289 option, but the nesting depth of each symbol is also printed.
290 This is useful for working out the number of possible combinations
291 of interdependent defined/undefined symbols.
