@cindex preprocessor
+Before parsing, configuration file is preprocessed. This goes in
+three stages. First, include directives are expanded. An
+@dfn{include directive} begins with a @samp{#} sign at the beginning
+of a line, followed by the word @samp{include} or @samp{include_once}.
+Any amount of whitespace is allowed between the @samp{#} and the
+word. The entire text up to the end of the line is removed and
+replaced using the following rules:
+
+@table @code
+@kwindex #include
+@item #include <@var{file}>
+@itemx #include @var{file}
+The contents of the file @var{file} is included. There are three possible
+use cases.
+
+If @var{file} is an absolute file name, the named file is included.
+An error message will be issued if it does not exist.
+
+If @var{file} contains wildcard characters (@samp{*}, @samp{[},
+@samp{]} or @samp{?}), it is interpreted as shell globbing pattern and
+all files matching that pattern are included, in lexicographical
+order. If no matching files are found, the directive is replaced with
+an empty line.
+
+Otherwise, the form with angle brackets searches for file in the
+@dfn{include search path}, while the second one looks for it in the
+current working directory first, and, if not found there, in the
+include search path. If the file is not found, an error message will
+be issued.
