NAME

       mkdep - generate dependency list from a C program

SYNOPSIS

       mkdep [-a] [-f depend_file] [-p] [cc_options] file...

       The mkdep command generates a dependency list file from a C source program.

OPTIONS

       Causes mkdep to append its output to the end of the dependency file instead of creating a new dependency file.  If the dependency file does
       not exist, mkdep creates it.  Specifies a name for the dependency file; overrides the default file name Inhibits mkdep from  appending  the
       suffix to the names of object files listed in the output.

DESCRIPTION

       The  mkdep  command uses cc(1) to compile a list of dependency files required to build the named C program file or files.  The list is for-
       matted so that it is suitable for inclusion into a makefile for make(1).  Duplicate dependency listings for a given  program  are  included
       only once in the output.

       You can specify C compiler options by including them in the command line; mkdep passes all unrecognized options through to the compiler.

       By default, mkdep writes to a file named -f option to specify an alternative output file name.

EXAMPLES

       The following example illustrates the use of mkdep with the -p option:

       % cat hello.c #include <stdio.h>

       main() {

	       printf("%s0","Hello  World!");  }  %  mkdep  -p	-f  hello.depend  hello.c  % cat hello.depend hello:  hello.c /usr/include/stdio.h
       /usr/include/standards.h   hello:    /usr/include/sys/types.h   /usr/include/standards.h    hello:     /usr/include/mach/machine/vm_types.h
       /usr/include/sys/limits.h   hello:    /usr/include/standards.h	/usr/include/machine/machlimits.h   hello:    /usr/include/sys/syslimits.h
       /usr/include/float.h hello:  /usr/include/standards.h /usr/include/fp_class.h hello:  /usr/include/machine/machtime.h
