NAME
       autoreconf - Update generated configuration files

SYNOPSIS
       aauuttoorreeccoonnff [OPTION] ... [DIRECTORY] ...

DESCRIPTION
       Run  `autoconf'  (and  `autoheader', `aclocal', `automake', `autopoint'
       (formerly `gettextize'), and `glibtoolize' 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 `autoreconf' remake all of the files by giving  it  the  `-force'
       option.
