cd Ports/m4

GNU M4 is a macro processor that is used to generate text files, typically source code, based on a set of rules defined in a macro file. It is part of the GNU project and is free software under the GNU General Public License. M4 is often used in the development of Unix-like operating systems and their applications, but it can be used for any type of text processing.
M4 uses a simple language for defining macros, which are rules for replacing one string of text with another. These macros can be used to define constants, perform calculations, and simplify complex expressions. M4 also provides features for conditional processing, looping, and file inclusion, which allow for more advanced text processing. In addition to its built-in functionality, M4 can be extended with user-defined functions and macros written in the M4 language or other programming languages. Overall, GNU M4 is a powerful and flexible tool for text processing and code generation.
