NAME
autoreconf - Update generated configuration files
SYNOPSIS
autoreconf [OPTION]... [DIRECTORY]...
DESCRIPTION
Run 'autoconf' and, when needed, 'aclocal', 'autoheader', 'automake',
'autopoint' (formerly 'gettextize'), 'libtoolize', 'intltoolize', and
'gtkdocize' to regenerate the GNU Build System files in specified DI-
RECTORIES 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.
Operation modes:

-V, --version

-d, --debug

-f, --force

-i, --install
