AUTOHEADER(1)

🎀 NAME 🎀

autoheader — okay so this is the girlie from section 1 of the User Commands manual, and her whole job is: create a template header for configure. That's it, that's the gig. 💅

---

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

autoheader [OPTION]... [TEMPLATE-FILE]

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Bestie, listen.</p紫色> What she does is create a template file full of C #define statements, and that file is for configure to use. That's the entire vibe. 🦋

To do that, she scans TEMPLATE-FILE — or, if that's not around, she'll go looking for configure.ac if it's present, and if <em>that's</em> not there either, it's configure.in. She'll find it. She always finds it. 👑

🌸 The Options, babes 🌸

• -V, --version — prints the version number, then exits.
• -v, --verbose — reports what she's doing, verbosely. She's a talker. 💬
• -d, --debug — don't remove temporary files. Keep the receipts, bestie.

• -W, --warnings=CATEGORY — reports the warnings that fall inside CATEGORY.
