🦋 makefile2graph — the manual page, but make it cute

okay bestie, welcome to the makefile2graph(1) page 💖 it lives in the User Commands section, and it's genuinely one of those tiny little tools that just works. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

makefile2graph — Creates a graph of dependencies from GNU-Make 🌸

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

makefile2graph
makefile2graph -B

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so basically: it Creates a graph of dependencies from GNU-Make, and the Output is a graphiz-dot file. that's the whole vibe. 🫶

⚠️ heads up though, and this part is important: sub-makefiles are not supported. not me finding out the hard way 💀

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

okay so this is the lowkey iconic part: The options of makefile2graph are the same as make(1). like, all of them. it's giving "borrowed the whole closet" ✨

  • -B, --always-make — Show the graph as though all targets would be remade from scratch. 🔥
