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) repeat-
       edly to remake the GNU Build System 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,  run-
       ning `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

       -d, --debug

       -f, --force

       -i, --install
	      copy missing auxiliary files

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

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