.TH AUTOUPDATE 1 "Autoconf"
.SH NAME
autoupdate2.13 - updates an old configure.in file to version 2
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B autoconf2.13
[
.B --help
|
.B -h
] [
.B --macrodir=dir
|
.B -m dir
] [
.B --version
]
.SH DESCRIPTION
The 
.B autoupdate2.13
program updates a 
.B configure.in
file that calls
Autoconf macros by their old names to use the current macro names.  In
version 2 of Autoconf, most of the macros were renamed to use a more
uniform and descriptive naming scheme.  Although the old names still
work , you can make your 
.B configure.in
files more readable and make
it easier to use the current Autoconf documentation if you update them
to use the new macro names.
If given no arguments, 
.B autoupdate2.13
updates 
.BR configure.in , 
backing up
the original version with the suffix 
.B ~
(or the value of the
environment variable 
.BR SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX , 
if that is set).  If you
give 
.B autoupdate2.13
an argument, it reads that file instead of
.B configure.in
and writes the updated file to the standard output.
.PP
.B autoconf2.13
accepts the following options:
.TP
.BI --help
.TP
.BI -h
Print a summary of the command line options and exit.
.TP
.BI --macrodir=DIR
.TP
.BI -m\ DIR
Look for the installed macro files in directory DIR.  You can also
set the 
.B AC_MACRODIR
environment variable to a directory; this
option overrides the environment variable.
.TP
.BI --version
Print the version number of Autoconf and exit.
