In the context of programming, particularly in C and C++ languages, an include directive is used to bring in the contents of another file into the file that contains the directive. The word in the brackets (or quotes, depending on the syntax used) specifies the name of the file to be included. When the program is being compiled, the contents of the specified file are literally copied into the program at the point where the include directive appears.
