.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The \fBmake\fR utility executes a list of shell commands associated with each
\fItarget\fR, typically to create or update a file of the same name.
\fImakefile\fR contains entries that describe how to bring a target up to date
with respect to those on which it depends, which are called \fIdependencies\fR.
Since each dependency is a target, it can have dependencies of its own.
Targets, dependencies, and sub-dependencies comprise a tree structure that
\fBmake\fR traces when deciding whether or not to rebuild a \fItarget\fR.
.sp
.LP
The \fBmake\fR utility recursively checks each \fItarget\fR against its
dependencies, beginning with the first target entry in \fImakefile\fR if no
\fItarget\fR argument is supplied on the command line. If, after processing all
of its dependencies, a target file is found either to be missing, or to be
older than any of its dependencies, \fBmake\fR rebuilds it. Optionally with
this version of \fBmake\fR, a target can be treated as out-of-date when the
commands used to generate it have changed since the last time the target was
built.
.sp
.LP
To build a given target, \fBmake\fR executes the list of commands, called a
\fIrule\fR. This rule can be listed explicitly in the target's makefile entry,
or it can be supplied implicitly by \fBmake\fR.
.sp
.LP
If no \fItarget\fR is specified on the command line, \fBmake\fR uses the first
target defined in \fImakefile\fR.
.sp
.LP
If a \fItarget\fR has no makefile entry, or if its entry has no rule,
\fBmake\fR attempts to derive a rule by each of the following methods, in turn,
until a suitable rule is found. Each method is described under Usage below.

.RE

.SH USAGE
.LP
The usage of \fBmake\fR is described below:
.SS "Reading Makefiles and the Environment"
.LP
When \fBmake\fR first starts, it reads the \fBMAKEFLAGS\fR environment variable
to obtain any of the following options specified present in its value:
\fB-d\fR, \fB-D\fR, \fB-e\fR, \fB-i\fR, \fB-k\fR, \fB-n\fR, \fB-p\fR, \fB-q\fR,
\fB-r\fR, \fB-s\fR, \fB-S\fR, or \fB-t\fR. Due to the implementation of POSIX.2
(see \fBPOSIX.2\fR(5), the \fBMAKEFLAGS\fR values contains a leading \fB\(mi\fR
character. The \fBmake\fR utility then reads the command line for additional
options, which also take effect.
.sp
.LP
Next, \fBmake\fR reads in a default makefile that typically contains predefined
macro definitions, target entries for implicit rules, and additional rules,
such as the rule for retrieving \fBSCCS\fR files. If present, \fBmake\fR uses
the file \fBmake.rules\fR in the current directory; otherwise it reads the file
\fB/usr/share/lib/make/make.rules\fR, which contains the standard definitions
and rules. Use the directive:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
\fBinclude /usr/share/lib/make/make.rules\fR
.fi
.in -2
.sp

.sp
.LP
in your local \fBmake.rules\fR file to include them.
.sp
.LP
Next, \fBmake\fR imports variables from the environment (unless the \fB-e\fR
option is in effect), and treats them as defined macros. Because \fBmake\fR
uses the most recent definition it encounters, a macro definition in the
makefile normally overrides an environment variable of the same name. When
\fB-e\fR is in effect, however, environment variables are read in \fBafter\fR
all makefiles have been read. In that case, the environment variables take
precedence over definitions in the makefile.
.sp
.LP
Next, \fBmake\fR reads any makefiles you specify with \fB-f\fR, or one of
\fBmakefile\fR or \fBMakefile\fR as described above and then the state file, in
the local directory if it exists. If the makefile contains a
\fB\&.KEEP_STATE_FILE\fR target, then it reads the state file that follows the
target. Refer to special target \fB\&.KEEP_STATE_FILE\fR for details.
.sp
.LP
Next (after reading the environment if \fB-e\fR is in effect), \fBmake\fR reads
in any macro definitions supplied as command line arguments. These override
macro definitions in the makefile and the environment both, but only for the
\fBmake\fR command itself.
.sp
.LP
\fBmake\fR exports environment variables, using the most recently defined
value. Macro definitions supplied on the command line are not normally
exported, unless the macro is also an environment variable.
.sp
.LP
\fBmake\fR does not export macros defined in the makefile. If an environment
variable is set, and a macro with the same name is defined on the command line,
\fBmake\fR exports its value as defined on the command line. Unless \fB-e\fR is
in effect, macro definitions within the makefile take precedence over those
imported from the environment.
.sp
.LP
The macros \fBMAKEFLAGS\fR, \fBMAKE\fR, \fBSHELL\fR, \fBHOST_ARCH\fR,
\fBHOST_MACH\fR, and \fBTARGET_MACH\fR are special cases. See Special-Purpose
Macros below for details.
.SS "Makefile Target Entries"
.LP
A target entry has the following format:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
       \fItarget\fR [\fB:\fR|\fB::\fR] [\fIdependency\fR] ... [\fB;\fR \fBcommand\fR] ... 
                      [\fBcommand\fR] 
                      ...
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
The first line contains the name of a target, or a space-separated list of
target names, terminated with a colon or double colon. If a list of targets is
given, this is equivalent to having a separate entry of the same form for each
target. The colon(s) can be followed by a \fIdependency\fR, or a dependency
list. \fBmake\fR checks this list before building the target. The dependency
list can be terminated with a semicolon (\fB;\fR), which in turn can be
followed by a single Bourne shell command. Subsequent lines in the target entry
begin with a \fBTAB\fR and contain Bourne shell commands. These commands
comprise the rule for building the target.
.sp
.LP
Shell commands can be continued across input lines by escaping the
\fBNEWLINE\fR with a backslash (\fB\e\fR). The continuing line must also start
with a \fBTAB\fR.
.sp
.LP
To rebuild a target, \fBmake\fR expands macros, strips off initial \fBTAB\fR
characters and either executes the command directly (if it contains no shell
metacharacters), or passes each command line to a Bourne shell for execution.
.sp
.LP
The first \fInon-empty\fR line that does not begin with a \fBTAB\fR or \fB#\fR
begins another target or macro definition.
.SS "Special Characters"
.LP
Special characters are defined below.
.SS "\fIGlobal\fR"
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB#\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 20n
Start a comment. The comment ends at the next \fBNEWLINE\fR. If the \fB#\fR
follows the \fBTAB\fR in a command line, that line is passed to the shell
(which also treats \fB#\fR as the start of a comment).
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBinclude\fR \fIfilename\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 20n
If the word \fBinclude\fR appears as the first seven letters of a line and is
followed by a \fBSPACE\fR or \fBTAB\fR, the string that follows is taken as a
filename to interpolate at that line. \fBinclude\fR files can be nested to a
depth of no more than 38 nested makefiles . If \fIfilename\fR is a macro
reference, it is expanded.

Target terminator for alternate dependencies. When used in place of a \fB:\fR
the double-colon allows a target to be checked and updated with respect to
alternate dependency lists. When the target is out-of-date with respect to
dependencies listed in the first alternate, it is built according to the rule
for that entry. When out-of-date with respect to dependencies in another
alternate, it is built according the rule in that other entry. Implicit rules
do not apply to double-colon targets; you must supply a rule for each entry. If
no dependencies are specified, the rule is always performed.

In this version of \fBmake\fR, you can clear the definition of the following
special targets by supplying entries for them with no dependencies and no rule:
.sp
.LP
\fB\&.DEFAULT, .SCCS_GET,  and .SUFFIXES\fR
.SS "Command Dependencies"

When the \fB\&.KEEP_STATE:\fR target is effective, \fBmake\fR checks the
command for building a target against the state file. If the command has

.SS "Hidden Dependencies"
.LP
When the \fB\&.KEEP_STATE:\fR target is effective, \fBmake\fR reads reports
from \fBcpp\fR(1) and other compilation processors for any "hidden" files, such
as \fB#include\fR files. If the target is out of date with respect to any of
these files, \fBmake\fR rebuilds it.
.SS "Macros"
.LP
Entries of the form
.sp
.in +2
.nf
\fImacro\fR\fB=\fR\fIvalue\fR
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
define macros. \fImacro\fR is the name of the macro, and \fIvalue\fR, which
consists of all characters up to a comment character or unescaped
\fBNEWLINE\fR, is the value. \fBmake\fR strips both leading and trailing white
space in accepting the value.
.sp
.LP
Subsequent references to the macro, of the forms: \fB$(\fR\fIname\fR\fB)\fR or
\fB${\fR\fIname\fR\fB}\fR are replaced by \fIvalue\fR. The parentheses or
brackets can be omitted in a reference to a macro with a single-character name.
.sp
.LP
Macro references can contain references to other macros, in which case nested
references are expanded first.
.SS "\fISuffix Replacement Macro References\fR"

Substitutions within macros can be made as follows:

     \fB$(\fR\fIname\fR\fB:\fR\fIstring1\fR\fB=\fR\fIstring2\fR\fB)\fR
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
where \fIstring1\fR is either a suffix, or a word to be replaced in the macro
definition, and \fIstring2\fR is the replacement suffix or word. Words in a
macro value are separated by \fBSPACE\fR, \fBTAB\fR, and escaped \fBNEWLINE\fR
characters.
.SS "\fIPattern Replacement Macro References\fR"
.LP
Pattern matching replacements can also be applied to macros, with a reference
of the form:
.sp

     \fB$(\fR\fIname\fR\fB:\fR \fIop\fR\fB%\fR\fIos\fR\fB=\fR \fInp\fR\fB%\fR\fIns\fR\fB)\fR

where \fIop\fR is the existing (old) prefix and \fIos\fR is the existing (old)
suffix, \fInp\fR and \fIns\fR are the new prefix and new suffix, respectively,
and the pattern matched by \fB%\fR (a string of zero or more characters), is
carried forward from the value being replaced. For example:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
\fBPROGRAM=fabricate 
DEBUG= $(PROGRAM:%=tmp/%\(mig)\fR
.fi
.in -2
.sp

.sp
.LP
sets the value of \fBDEBUG\fR to \fBtmp/fabricate\(mig\fR.
.sp
.LP
Notice that pattern replacement macro references cannot be used in the
dependency list of a pattern matching rule; the \fB%\fR characters are not
evaluated independently. Also, any number of \fB%\fR metacharacters can appear
after the equal-sign.
.SS "\fIAppending to a Macro\fR"

.SS "Special-Purpose Macros"
.LP
When the \fBMAKEFLAGS\fR variable is present in the environment, \fBmake\fR
takes options from it, in combination with options entered on the command line.
\fBmake\fR retains this combined value as the \fBMAKEFLAGS\fR macro, and
exports it automatically to each command or shell it invokes.
.sp
.LP
Notice that flags passed by way of \fBMAKEFLAGS\fR are only displayed when the
\fB-d\fR, or \fB-dd\fR options are in effect.
.sp
.LP
The \fBMAKE\fR macro is another special case. It has the value \fBmake\fR by
default, and temporarily overrides the \fB-n\fR option for any line in which it
is referred to. This allows nested invocations of \fBmake\fR written as:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
     \fB$(MAKE)\fR .\|.\|. 
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
to run recursively, with the \fB-n\fR flag in effect for all commands but
\fBmake\fR. This lets you use \fBmake\fR \fB-n\fR to test an entire hierarchy
of makefiles.
.sp
.LP
For compatibility with the 4.2 \fBBSD\fR \fBmake\fR, the \fBMFLAGS\fR macro is
set from the \fBMAKEFLAGS\fR variable by prepending a \fB-\fR\&. \fBMFLAGS\fR
is not exported automatically.
.sp
.LP
The \fBSHELL\fR macro, when set to a single-word value such as
\fB/usr/bin/csh\fR, indicates the name of an alternate shell to use. The
default is \fB/bin/sh\fR. Notice that \fBmake\fR executes commands that contain
no shell metacharacters itself. Built-in commands, such as \fBdirs\fR in the C
shell, are not recognized unless the command line includes a metacharacter (for
instance, a semicolon). This macro is neither imported from, nor exported to
the environment, regardless of \fB-e\fR. To be sure it is set properly, you
must define this macro within every makefile that requires it.
.sp
.LP
The syntax of the \fBVPATH\fR macro is:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
     \fBVPATH\fR = [ \fIpathname\fR [ : \fIpathname\fR ] ... ]
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
\fBVPATH\fR specifies a list of directories to search for the files, which are
targets or dependencies, when \fBmake\fR is executed.  \fBVPATH\fR is also used
in order to search for the \fBinclude\fR files mentioned in the particular
makefile.
.sp
.LP
When processing a target or a dependency or an include directive, \fBmake\fR
checks the existence of the file with the same name in the current directory.
If the file is found to be missing, \fBmake\fR searches for this file in the
list of directories presented in \fBVPATH\fR (like the \fBPATH\fR variable in
the shell). Unlike the \fBPATH\fR variable, \fBVPATH\fR is used in order to
search for the files with relative pathnames. When \fBmake\fR attempts to apply
implicit rules to the target, it also searches for the dependency files using
\fBVPATH\fR.
.sp
.LP
When the file is found using \fBVPATH\fR, internal macros \fB$@\fR, \fB@<\fR,
\fB$?\fR, \fB$*\fR, and their alternative forms (with \fBD\fR or \fBF\fR
appended) are set in accordance with the name derived from \fBVPATH\fR. For
instance, if the target \fBsubdir/foo.o\fR is found in the directory
\fB/aaa/bbb\fR using \fBVPATH\fR, then the value of the internal macro \fB$@\fR
for this target is \fB/aaa/bbb/subdir/foo.o\fR.
.sp
.LP
If a target or a dependency file is found using \fBVPATH\fR, then any
occurrences of the word that is the same as the target name in the subsequent
rules are replaced with the actual name of the target derived from \fBVPATH\fR.
.sp
.LP
For example:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
\fBVPATH=./subdir
file.o : file.c
         cc -c file.c -o file.o\fR
.fi
.in -2
.sp

.sp
.LP
If \fBfile.c\fR is found in \fB\&./subdir\fR, then the command
.sp

\fBcc -c ./subdir/file.c -o file.o\fR

\fB\fB$?\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 6n
The list of dependencies that are newer than the target. Command-dependency
checking is automatically suppressed for lines that contain this macro, just as
if the command had been prefixed with a \fB?\fR. See the description of
\fB?\fR, under \fBSpecial Character\fR Rules above. You can force this check
with the \fB!\fR command-line prefix.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB$%\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 6n
The name of the library member being processed. (See Library Maintenance
below.)
.RE

.sp
.LP
To refer to the \fB$@\fR dynamic macro within a dependency list, precede the
reference with an additional \fB$\fR character (as in, \fB$$@\fR). Because
\fBmake\fR assigns \fB$<\fR and \fB$*\fR as it would for implicit rules
(according to the suffixes list and the directory contents), they can be
unreliable when used within explicit target entries.
.sp
.LP
These macros can be modified to apply either to the filename part, or the
directory part of the strings they stand for, by adding an upper case \fBF\fR
or \fBD\fR, respectively (and enclosing the resulting name in parentheses or
braces). Thus, \fB$(@D)\fR refers to the directory part of the string \fB$@\fR;
if there is no directory part, \fB\&.\fR is assigned. \fB$(@F)\fR refers to the
filename part.

.LP
indicates that when processing any of the targets listed \fIand their
dependencies\fR, \fImacro\fR is to be set to the \fIvalue\fR supplied. Notice
that if a conditional macro is referred to in a dependency list, the \fB$\fR
must be delayed (use \fB$$\fR instead). Also, \fItarget-list\fR can contain a
\fB%\fR pattern, in which case the macro is conditionally defined for all
targets encountered that match the pattern. A pattern replacement reference can
be used within the \fIvalue\fR.
.sp
.LP

the form:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
\fItarget-list\fR \fB:=\fR \fImacro\fR \fB+=\fR \fIvalue\fR
.fi
.in -2

.SS "Predefined Macros"
.LP
\fBmake\fR supplies the macros shown in the table that follows for compilers
and their options, host architectures, and other commands. Unless these macros
are read in as environment variables, their values are not exported by
\fBmake\fR. If you run \fBmake\fR with any of these set in the environment, it
is a good idea to add commentary to the makefile to indicate what value each is
expected to take. If \fB-r\fR is in effect, \fBmake\fR does not read the
default makefile (\fB\&./make.rules\fR or \fB/usr/share/lib/make/make.rules\fR)
in which these macro definitions are supplied.

.SS "Implicit Rules"
.LP
When a target has no entry in the makefile, \fBmake\fR attempts to determine
its class (if any) and apply the rule for that class. An implicit rule
describes how to build any target of a given class, from an associated
dependency file. The class of a target can be determined either by a pattern,
or by a suffix; the corresponding dependency file (with the same basename) from
which such a target might be built. In addition to a predefined set of implicit
rules, \fBmake\fR allows you to define your own, either by pattern, or by
suffix.
.SS "\fIPattern Matching Rules\fR"
.LP
A target entry of the form:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
\fItp\fR\fB%\fR\fIts\fR:\|\fIdp\fR\fB%\fR\fIds\fR
     \fIrule\fR
.fi
.in -2
.sp

.sp
.LP
is a pattern matching rule, in which \fItp\fR is a target prefix, \fIts\fR is a
target suffix, \fIdp\fR is a dependency prefix, and \fIds\fR is a dependency
suffix (any of which can be null). The \fB%\fR stands for a basename of zero or
more characters that is matched in the target, and is used to construct the
name of a dependency. When \fBmake\fR encounters a match in its search for an
implicit rule, it uses the rule in that target entry to build the target from
the dependency file. Pattern-matching implicit rules typically make use of the
\fB$@\fR and \fB$<\fR dynamic macros as placeholders for the target and
dependency names. Other, regular dependencies can occur in the dependency list;
however, none of the regular dependencies can contain \fB%\fR. An entry of the
form:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
\fItp\fR%\fIts\fR:\|[\fIdependency .\|.\|.\fR\|] \fIdp\fR%\fIds\fR\|[\fIdependency .\|.\|.\fR\|] 
     \fIrule\fR
.fi
.in -2
.sp

.sp
.LP
is a valid pattern matching rule.
.SS "\fISuffix Rules\fR"
.LP
When no pattern matching rule applies, \fBmake\fR checks the target name to see
if it ends with a suffix in the known suffixes list. If so, \fBmake\fR checks
for any suffix rules, as well as a dependency file with same root and another
recognized suffix, from which to build it.
.sp
.LP
The target entry for a suffix rule takes the form:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
\fIDsTs\fR: \fIrule\fR
.fi
.in -2
.sp

.sp
.LP
where \fITs\fR is the suffix of the target, \fIDs\fR is the suffix of the
dependency file, and \fIrule\fR is the rule for building a target in the class.
Both \fIDs\fR and \fITs\fR must appear in the suffixes list. (A suffix need not
begin with a \fB\&.\fR to be recognized.)
.sp
.LP
A suffix rule with only one suffix describes how to build a target having a
null (or no) suffix from a dependency file with the indicated suffix. For
instance, the \fB\&.c\fR rule could be used to build an executable program
named \fBfile\fR from a C source file named \fBfile.c\fR. If a target with a
null suffix has an explicit dependency, \fBmake\fR omits the search for a
suffix rule.

\fBmake\fR reads in the standard set of implicit rules from the file
\fB/usr/share/lib/make/make.rules\fR, unless \fB-r\fR is in effect, or there is
a \fBmake.rules\fR file in the local directory that does not \fBinclude\fR that
file.
.SS "The Suffixes List"
.LP
The suffixes list is given as the list of dependencies for the
\fB\&.SUFFIXES:\fR special-function target. The default list is contained in
the \fBSUFFIXES\fR macro (See \fITable of Predefined Macros\fR for the standard
list of suffixes). You can define additional \fB\&.SUFFIXES:\fR targets; a
\fB\&.SUFFIXES\fR target with no dependencies clears the list of suffixes.
Order is significant within the list; \fBmake\fR selects a rule that
corresponds to the target's suffix and the first dependency-file suffix found
in the list. To place suffixes at the head of the list, clear the list and
replace it with the new suffixes, followed by the default list:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
   .SUFFIXES:
   .SUFFIXES: \fIsuffixes\fR $(SUFFIXES)
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
A tilde (\fB~\fR) indicates that if a dependency file with the indicated suffix
(minus the ~) is under \fBSCCS\fR its most recent version should be retrieved,
if necessary, before the target is processed.
.SS "Library Maintenance"
.LP
A target name  of the form:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
   \fIlib\fR(\fImember ...\fR)
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
refers to a member, or a space-separated list of members, in an \fBar\fR(1)
library.
.sp
.LP
The dependency of the library member on the corresponding file must be given as
an explicit entry in the makefile. This can be handled by a pattern matching
rule of the form:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
   \fIlib\fR(%\fI\&.s\fR): %\fI\&.s\fR
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
where \fI\&.s\fR is the suffix of the member; this suffix is typically
\fB\&.o\fR for object libraries.
.sp
.LP
A target name of the form:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
   \fIlib\fR((\fIsymbol\fR)) 
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
refers to the member of a randomized object library that defines the entry
point named \fIsymbol\fR.
.SS "Command Execution"
.LP
Command lines are executed one at a time, \fIeach by its own process or
shell\fR. Shell commands, notably \fBcd\fR, are ineffectual across an unescaped
\fBNEWLINE\fR in the makefile. A line is printed (after macro expansion) just
before being executed. This is suppressed if it starts with a \fB@\fR, if there
is a \fB\&.SILENT:\fR entry in the makefile, or if \fBmake\fR is run with the
\fB-s\fR option. Although the \fB-n\fR option specifies printing without
execution, lines containing the macro \fB$(MAKE)\fR are executed regardless,
and lines containing the \fB@\fR special character are printed. The \fB-t\fR
(touch) option updates the modification date of a file without executing any
rules. This can be dangerous when sources are maintained by more than one
person.
.sp
.LP
\fBmake\fR invokes the shell with the \fB-e\fR (exit-on-errors) argument. Thus,
with semicolon-separated command sequences, execution of the later commands
depends on the success of the former. This behavior can be overridden by
starting the command line with a \fB\|-\fR, or by writing a shell script that
returns a non-zero status only as it finds appropriate.
.SS "Bourne Shell Constructs"
.LP
To use the Bourne shell \fBif\fR control structure for branching, use a command
line of the form:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
if \fIexpression\fR ; \e
then \fIcommand\fR ; \e
     ... ; \e
else \fIcommand\fR; \e
     ... ; \e
fi 
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
Although composed of several input lines, the escaped \fBNEWLINE\fR characters
insure that \fBmake\fR treats them all as one (shell) command line.
.sp
.LP
To use the Bourne shell \fBfor\fR control structure for loops, use a command
line of the form:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
for \fIvar\fR in \fIlist\fR ; \e
do \fIcommand\fR; \e
     ... \fB; \e\fRdone
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
To refer to a shell variable, use a double-dollar-sign (\fB$$\fR). This
prevents expansion of the dollar-sign by \fBmake\fR.
.SS "Command Substitutions"
.LP
To incorporate the standard output of a shell command in a macro, use a
definition of the form:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
   \fIMACRO\|\fR:sh =\fIcommand\fR
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
The command is executed only once, standard error output is discarded, and
\fBNEWLINE\fR characters are replaced with \fBSPACE\fRs. If the command has a
non-zero exit status, \fBmake\fR halts with an error.
.sp
.LP
To capture the output of a shell command in a macro reference, use a reference
of the form:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
$(\fIMACRO\|\fR:sh) 
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
where \fIMACRO\fR is the name of a macro containing a valid Bourne shell
command line. In this case, the command is executed whenever the reference is
evaluated. As with shell command substitutions, the reference is replaced with
the standard output of the command. If the command has a non-zero exit status,
\fBmake\fR halts with an error.
.sp
.LP
In contrast to commands in rules, the command is not subject for macro
substitution; therefore, a dollar sign (\fB$\fR) need not be replaced with a
double dollar sign (\fB$$\fR).
.SS "\fISignals\fR"
.LP
\fBINT\fR, \fBSIGTERM\fR, and \fBQUIT\fR signals received from the keyboard
halt \fBmake\fR and remove the target file being processed unless that target
is in the dependency list for \fB\&.PRECIOUS:\fR.
.SH EXAMPLES
.LP
\fBExample 1 \fRDefining dependencies
.sp
.LP
This makefile says that \fBpgm\fR depends on two files \fBa.o\fR and \fBb.o\fR,
and that they in turn depend on their corresponding source files (\fBa.c\fR and
\fBb.c\fR) along with a common file \fBincl.h\fR:

.sp
.in +2
.nf
pgm:  a.o  b.o
     $(LINK.c) -o $@a.o  b.o
a.o:  incl.h  a.c
     cc -c a.c

     cc -c b.c 
.fi
.in -2

.LP
\fBExample 2 \fRUsing implicit rules
.sp
.LP
The following makefile uses implicit rules to express the same dependencies:

a.o  b.o:  incl.h

\fB\fBMAKEFLAGS\fR\fR

This variable is interpreted as a character string representing a series of
option characters to be used as the default options. The implementation accepts
both of the following formats (but need not accept them when intermixed):
.RS +4
.TP
1.
The characters are option letters without the leading hyphens or blank
character separation used on a command line.
.RE
.RS +4
.TP
2.
The characters are formatted in a manner similar to a portion of the
\fBmake\fR command line: options are preceded by hyphens and
blank-character-separated. The \fImacro=name\fR macro definition operands can
also be included. The difference between the contents of \fBMAKEFLAGS\fR and
the command line is that the contents of the variable is not subjected to the
word expansions associated with parsing the command line values. See
\fBwordexp\fR(3C).
.sp
When the command-line options \fB-f\fR or \fB-p\fR are used, they take effect
regardless of whether they also appear in \fBMAKEFLAGS\fR. If they otherwise
appear in \fBMAKEFLAGS\fR, the result is undefined.
.RE
The \fBMAKEFLAGS\fR variable is accessed from the environment before the
makefile is read. At that time, all of the options (except \fB-f\fR and
\fB-p\fR) and command-line macros not already included in \fBMAKEFLAGS\fR are
added to the \fBMAKEFLAGS\fR macro. The \fBMAKEFLAGS\fR macro is passed into
the environment as an environment variable for all child processes. If the
\fBMAKEFLAGS\fR macro is subsequently set by the makefile, it replaces the
\fBMAKEFLAGS\fR variable currently found in the environment.
