rake

RAKE(1) 						 Ruby Programmers Reference Guide						   RAKE(1)

NAME

     rake -- Ruby Make

SYNOPSIS

     rake [--f Rakefile] [--version] [-CGNPgnqstv] [-D [PATTERN]] [-E CODE] [-I LIBDIR] [-R RAKELIBDIR] [-T [PATTERN]] [-e CODE] [-p CODE]
	  [-r MODULE] [--rules] [variable=value] target ...

DESCRIPTION

     Rake is a simple ruby(1) build program with capabilities similar to the regular make(1) command.

     Rake has the following features:

     o	 Rakefiles (Rake's version of Makefiles) are completely defined in standard Ruby syntax.  No XML files to edit. No quirky Makefile syntax
	 to worry about (is that a tab or a space?).

     o	 Users can specify tasks with prerequisites.

     o	 Rake supports rule patterns to synthesize implicit tasks.

     o	 Flexible FileLists that act like arrays but know about manipulating file names and paths.

     o	 A library of prepackaged tasks to make building rakefiles easier.
