SunOS 5.5.1 usage of Makefile command in make file
I am new to Solaris and compilation using make files.
I have a code base which is organized into different folders. At the root folder is a master make file and in the sub directories, there are make files for that particular folder.

In the make files present in subdirectories, I am seeing that "Makefile" is being used as a command for generating .obj files. For e.g.
Code:
 abc.obj : abc.asm \
 ../kernal/xxx.def \
 ../kernal/yyy.def \
 ../kernal/zzz.def \
 ../kernal/queue.def \
 Makefile \
 aaa.def \
 bbb.asm \
 ccc.asm \
 ddd.mac

Some other line
Code:
 abc.obj : abc.asm Makefile $(BB_INCS) xxx.def

Below are my questions.

1. Why is "Makefile" being used as a command? What does it signify? It is not defined anywhere in any other make file also.
2. What is a .mac file in Solaris? what is it's purpose?
3. What is the use of .def file in SOlaris? What is it's purpose?
