NAME
     autoreconf - Update generated configuration files

SYNOPSIS
     autoreconf2.69 [OPTION]... [DIRECTORY]...

DESCRIPTION
     Run  `autoconf2.69'  (and	`autoheader2.69',  `aclocal', `automake', `auto-
     point' (formerly `gettextize'), and `libtoolize' where appropriate) repeat-
     edly to remake 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	`autore-
     conf2.69' remake 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
	    verbosely report processing

     -d, --debug
	    don't remove temporary files

     -f, --force
	    consider all files obsolete

     -i, --install
	    copy missing auxiliary files

     --no-recursive
	    don't rebuild sub-packages

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

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

     -W, --warnings=CATEGORY
	    report the warnings falling in CATEGORY [syntax]
