+@deftypefn Extension void expandargv (int *@var{argcp}, char ***@var{argvp})
+
+The @var{argcp} and @code{argvp} arguments are pointers to the usual
+@code{argc} and @code{argv} arguments to @code{main}.  This function
+looks for arguments that begin with the character @samp{@@}.  Any such
+arguments are interpreted as ``response files''.  The contents of the
+response file are interpreted as additional command line options.  In
+particular, the file is separated into whitespace-separated strings;
+each such string is taken as a command-line option.  The new options
+are inserted in place of the option naming the response file, and
+@code{*argcp} and @code{*argvp} will be updated.  If the value of
+@code{*argvp} is modified by this function, then the new value has
+been dynamically allocated and can be deallocated by the caller with
+@code{freeargv}.  However, most callers will simply call
+@code{expandargv} near the beginning of @code{main} and allow the
+operating system to free the memory when the program exits.
