.TH AUTOM4TE "1" "September 2001" "GNU Autoconf 2.52e" FSF
.SH NAME
autom4te \- Generate files and scripts thanks to M4
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B autom4te
[\fIOPTION\fR] ... [\fIFILES\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
Run GNU M4 on the FILES, avoiding useless runs. If tracing, the output
consists of the traces only, otherwise output the expansion of the FILES.
The first of the FILES may be an M4 frozen file, but then must end in `.m4f'.
Some files may be optional, i.e., will only be processed if found in the
include path, but then must end in `.m4?'; the question mark is not part of
the actual file name.
