Accessing the ``ast.h'' Header File

The ``ast.h'' header file defines the external interface to the AST library, including all constants, function prototypes, macros, etc.. This file should be located using the usual compiler options for finding C include files, for instance:

cc prog.c -I/star/include -o prog

This is preferable to specifying the file's absolute name within your software.
