Perhaps you could describe a little more verbose what this command does?

If it's inserting data into a document this has more to do with the editor
you are using, not gcc. 

For example, inserting a file into a document that you editing with emacs,
press "C-x i" and enter file name. 

Or if you want to feed the data in a file into your program then it's more 
to do with the shell.

In tcsh shell (and bash I think) you do "./my_program <my_data_file".
