% \section{Introduction}
%
% \DescribeEnv{filecontents}
% There is a little-known environment called |filecontents| that is
% built into \LaTeXe. Here is |filecontents|' description, which was
% taken from |ltclass.dtx|:
%
% \begin{quotation}
% The environment |filecontents| is intended for passing the contents of
% packages, options, or other files along with a document in a single
% file. It has one argument, which is the name of the file to
% create. If that file already exists (maybe only in the current
% directory if the OS supports a notion of a `current directory' or
% `default directory') then nothing happens (except for an information
% message) and the body of the environment is bypassed. Otherwise, the
% body of the environment is written verbatim to the file name given as
% the first argument, together with some comments about how it was
% produced.
%
% The environment is allowed only before |\documentclass| to ensure that
% all packages or options necessary for this particular run are present
% when needed. The begin and end tags should each be on a line by
% itself. There is also a star-form; this does not write extra comments
% into the file.
% \end{quotation}
%
% The \textsf{filecontents} package provides a hacked-up version of the
% |filecontents| and |filecontents*| environments that lifts the two
% restrictions stated above, namely that existing files are never
% overwritten and that |filecontents| must be used before the
% |\documentclass| declaration. \textsf{filecontents} is therefore a
% more convenient way to write external files from within a \LaTeX\
% document than is provided by default by the \LaTeXe\ kernel.
%
%
% \paragraph{Sample usage}
% |filecontents| works much like |verbatim|, except that it takes
% a (mandatory) filename argument:
%
% \begin{verbatim}
% \begin{filecontents}{myfile.tex}
% This text gets written to \texttt{myfile.tex}.
% \end{filecontents}
% \end{verbatim}
%
% \noindent
% The preceding code will write a |myfile.tex| file with contents resembling
% the following:
%
% \begin{verbatim}
% %% LaTeX2e file `myfile.tex'
% %% generated by the `filecontents' environment
% %% from source `mydocument' on 2001/07/31.
% %%
% This text gets written to \texttt{myfile.tex}.
% \end{verbatim}
%
% \noindent
% |myfile.tex| can then be incorporated back into the document with
% |\include| or |\input|. Had |filecontents*| been used instead of
% |filecontents|, the file would have contained only the
% ``\texttt{This text gets written to} \verb"\texttt{myfile.tex}."'' line.
% |filecontents*| is therefore useful for writing non-\LaTeX\ files such as
% Encapsulated PostScript files.
%
% If you use the \textsf{ltxtable} package, you may find
% \textsf{filecontents} particularly useful. \textsf{ltxtable} is a
% crude conglomeration of \textsf{longtable}, which allows tables to
% cross page boundaries, and \textsf{tabularx}, which enables tables to
% stretch to a specified width. \textsf{ltxtable}'s interface is a bit
% cumbersome, however; it requires that the |longtable| environment be
% contained in a separate file. With the \textsf{filecontents} package,
% you can create this file right before the |\LTXtable| invocation,
% which is far more convenient than having to place the table manually
% within a separate file.

%
% \section{Implementation}
%
% Most users can stop reading at this point. The Implementation section
% contains the annotated source code for the \textsf{filecontents}
% package itself, which is useful only to people who want a detailed and
% precise explanation of how \textsf{filecontents} works.
%
% To give credit where credit is due, I wrote virtually none of the
% \textsf{filecontents} code myself. It comes almost exclusively from
% the \LaTeXe\ source code, specifically from the file |ltclass.dtx|,
% which is attributed to Frank Mittelbach, Chris Rowley, Alan Jeffrey,
% and David Carlisle. I merely made a few small changes (indicated below
% by bracketed blocks of code and comments) to make the |filecontents|
% environment more convenient to use.

% \startfcchanges
% In the original code, a pre-existing file would not be overwritten.
% In the new version, the file existence check is used solely to decide
% whether to output ``\texttt{Writing file `\textrm{\meta{filename}}'}''
% or ``\texttt{Overwriting file `\textrm{\meta{filename}}'}''. Control
% flow then always falls through to what used to be the |\ifeof| case
% (file does not exist; open it), never the |\else| case (file already
% exists; do nothing).
