NAME

       autoreconf - Update generated configuration files

SYNOPSIS

       autoreconf [OPTION] ... [TEMPLATE-FILE]

DESCRIPTION

       Run  `autoconf'  (and `autoheader', `aclocal' and `automake', where appropriate) repeatedly to remake the
       Autoconf `configure' scripts and configuration header templates in  the  directory  tree  rooted  at  the
       current  directory.   By default, it only remakes those files that are older than their predecessors.  If
       you install a new version of Autoconf, running `autoreconf' remakes all of the files  by  giving  it  the
       `--force' option.

   Operation modes:
       -h, --help
              print this help, then exit

       -V, --version
              print version number, then exit

       -v, --verbose
              verbosely report processing

       -d, --debug
              don't remove temporary files

       -f, --force
              consider every files are obsolete

       -i, --install
              copy missing auxiliary files

       -s, --symlink
              instead of copying, install symbolic links

       The option `--install' is similar to the option `--add-missing' in other tools.

   Library directories:
       -A, --autoconf-dir=ACDIR
              Autoconf's macro files location (rarely needed)

       -l, --localdir=DIR
              location of `aclocal.m4' and `acconfig.h'

       -M, --m4dir=M4DIR
              this package's Autoconf extensions

       Unless  specified,  heuristics  try  to compute `M4DIR' from the `Makefile.am', or defaults to `m4' if it
       exists.

   The following options are passed to `automake':
       --cygnus
              assume program is part of Cygnus-style tree

       --foreign
              set strictness to foreign

       --gnits
              set strictness to gnits

       --gnu  set strictness to gnu

       --include-deps
              include generated dependencies in Makefile.in

       The environment variables AUTOCONF, AUTOHEADER, AUTOMAKE, and ACLOCAL are honored.
