SH NAME
autom4te \- Generate files and scripts thanks to M4
SH SYNOPSIS
B autom4te
[\fIOPTION\fR]... [\fIFILES\fR]
SH DESCRIPTION
Run GNU M4 on the FILES, avoiding useless runs.  Output the traces if tracing,
the frozen file if freezing, otherwise the expansion of the FILES.
PP
If some of the FILES are named `FILE.m4f' they are considered to be M4
frozen files of all the previous files (which are therefore not loaded).
If `FILE.m4f' is not found, then `FILE.m4' will be used, together with
all the previous files.
PP
Some files may be optional, i.e., will only be processed if found in the
include path, but then must end in `.m4?';  the question mark is not part of
the actual file name.
