74<p>The <code>incbin</code> directive includes <var>file</var> verbatim at the current
75location. You can control the search paths used with the &lsquo;<samp>-I</samp>&rsquo; command-line
76option (see <a href="Invoking.html#Invoking">Command-Line Options</a>).  Quotation marks are required
77around <var>file</var>.
78</p>
79<p>The <var>skip</var> argument skips a number of bytes from the start of the
80<var>file</var>.  The <var>count</var> argument indicates the maximum number of bytes to
81read.  Note that the data is not aligned in any way, so it is the user&rsquo;s
82responsibility to make sure that proper alignment is provided both before and
83after the <code>incbin</code> directive.
