NAME
       autoreconf - Update generated configuration files

SYNOPSIS
       autoreconf [OPTION] ... [CONFIGURE-AC or DIRECTORY] ...

DESCRIPTION
       Run  `autoconf'	(and `autoheader', `aclocal', `automake',
       `autopoint'  (formerly  `gettextize'),  and   `libtoolize'
       where appropriate) repeatedly to remake the GNU Build Sys-
       tem files in the DIRECTORIES or the directory trees driven
       by CONFIGURE-AC (defaulting to `.').

       By  default,  it	 only  remakes those files that are older
       than their predecessors.	 If you install new  versions  of
       the  GNU Build System, 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 all files obsolete

       -i, --install
	      copy missing auxiliary files

       -s, --symlink
	      with -i, install symbolic links instead of copies

       -m, --make
	      when applicable, re-run ./configure && make

       -W, --warnings=CATEGORY
	      report the warnings falling in CATEGORY [syntax]

   Warning categories include:
       `cross'
	      cross compilation issues

       `obsolete'
	      obsolete constructs

       `portability'
	      portability issues

       `syntax'
	      dubious syntactic constructs

       `all'  all the warnings

       `no-CATEGORY'
	      turn off the warnings on CATEGORY

       `none' turn off all the warnings

       `error'
	      warnings are error

       The environment	variable  `WARNINGS'  is  honored.   Some
       subtools might support other warning types, using `all' is
       encouraged.

   Library directories:
       -B, --prepend-include=DIR
	      prepend directory DIR to search path

       -I, --include=DIR
	      append directory DIR to search path

       ACLOCAL, AUTOPOINT, LIBTOOLIZE are honored.
