# The devel/m4 port

## m4-1.4.18p1 – GNU m4

## Description

       GNU `m4' is an implementation of the traditional UNIX macro
    processor.  It is mostly SVR4 compatible, although it has some
    extensions (for example, handling more than 9 positional parameters to
    macros).  `m4' also has builtin functions for including files, running
    shell commands, doing arithmetic, etc.  Autoconf needs GNU `m4' for
    generating `configure' scripts, but not for running them.
