SYNOPSIS

       autoconf [OPTION] ... [TEMPLATE-FILE]


DESCRIPTION

       Generate  a  configuration  script from a TEMPLATE-FILE if
       given, or `configure.ac'  if  present,  or  else  `config­
       ure.in'.   Output  is  sent to the standard output if TEM­
       PLATE-FILE is given, else into `configure'.

   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

       -o, --output=FILE
              save output in FILE (stdout is the default)

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

   Warning categories include:
       `cross'
              cross compilation issues

       `obsolete'
              obsolete constructs

       `syntax'
              dubious syntactic constructs

       `all'  all the warnings

       `no-CATEGORY'
              turn off the warnings on CATEGORY

       `none' turn off all the warnings

       `error'
              warnings are error

       The environment variable `WARNINGS' is honored.

       In tracing mode, no configuration script is created.
