AUTOGENAM

NAME

autogenam — Generates files needed by autotools.

SYNOPSIS

autogenam [option] program_name main_src_name.c [other.c|h ...]

DESCRIPTION

The program does three tasks, it hardlinks most of the files needed by autotools in the current directory. Then it generates the AUTHORS file followed by Makefile.am. If the -m option has been selected it inserts the man_MAN macro.

Options

  • -h
    Prints brief usage information then quits.

  • -m
    requires an argument being the manpage file name.

  • -A
    requires an argument being the filename that lists the other conributing authors.

  • -d
    a file to install in /usr/local/share/program_name

  • -x
    files to 'EXTRA_BUILD'. You invoke this once for each file or use a quote protected space separated list of filenames. Do not include any man page input, this is handled automatically.
