NAME
       autoreconf - Update generated configuration files

SYNOPSIS
       autoreconf2.72 [OPTION]... [DIRECTORY]...

DESCRIPTION
       Run  'autoconf2.72' and,	when needed, 'aclocal',	'autoheader2.72', 'au-
       tomake',	 'autopoint'  (formerly	 'gettextize'),	 'libtoolize',	'intl-
       toolize',  and  'gtkdocize' to regenerate the GNU Build System files in
       specified DIRECTORIES and their subdirectories (defaulting to '.').

       By default, it only remakes those  files	 that  are  older  than	 their
       sources.	  If you install new versions of the GNU Build System, you can
       make 'autoreconf2.72'  remake  all  of  the  files  by  giving  it  the
       '--force' option.
