22 !!DESCRIPTION
23
24
25 The __autoupdate__ program updates a __configure.in__
26 file that calls Autoconf macros by their old names to use
27 the current macro names. In version 2 of Autoconf, most of
28 the macros were renamed to use a more uniform and
29 descriptive naming scheme. Although the old names still work
30 , you can make your __configure.in__ files more readable
31 and make it easier to use the current Autoconf documentation
32 if you update them to use the new macro names. If given no
33 arguments, __autoupdate__ updates __configure.in__,
34 backing up the original version with the suffix __~__ (or
35 the value of the environment variable
36 __SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX__, if that is set). If you give
37 __autoupdate__ an argument, it reads that file instead of
38 __configure.in__ and writes the updated file to the
39 standard output.
