The document discusses various C preprocessor directives and their usage. It provides examples of how to use #define, #include, #ifdef, #ifndef, #if, #else, #endif, #undef, and #pragma directives in C code. It also discusses macro definitions and how they allow text replacement before compilation. Conditional compilation directives like #ifdef allow including or excluding blocks of code based on conditions. The #pragma directive is implementation specific and examples show how to use #pragma startup and #pragma exit to define functions to run before and after main.
