C Header Files Include Syntax
Tuesday, November 30th, 2010It is very basic but this tutorial has a very clear explanation of the syntax:
#include <file>- This variant is used for system header files. It searches for a file named file in a standard list of system directories. You can prepend directories to this list with the `-I’ option (see section 12. Invocation).
#include "file“- This variant is used for header files of your own program. It searches for a file named file first in the directory containing the current file, then in the same directories used for
<file>.
FYI: The “-I” opption is used as:
$ gcc –I path/to/header code.cpp –o output
