.SH NAME
autoreconf \- Update generated configuration files
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B autoreconf
[\fIOPTION\fR] ... [\fITEMPLATE-FILE\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
Run `autoconf' (and `autoheader', `aclocal' and `automake', where
appropriate) repeatedly to remake the Autoconf `configure' scripts
and configuration header templates in the directory tree rooted at the
current directory. By default, it only remakes those files that are
older than their predecessors. If you install a new version of
Autoconf, running `autoreconf' remakes all of the files by giving it
the `--force' option.
