autoupdate - updates an old configure.in file to version 2
!!SYNOPSIS


__autoupdate__ [[ __--help__ | __-h__ ] [[
__--version__ | __-V__ ] [[ __--verbose__ |
__-v__ ] [[ __--debug__ | __-d__ ] [[
__--autoconf-dir=__''dir'' | __-A__ ''dir'' ] [[
__--localdir=__''dir'' | __-l__ ''dir''
]
!!DESCRIPTION


The __autoupdate__ program updates a __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 __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, __autoupdate__ updates __configure.in__,
backing up the original version with the suffix __~__ (or
the value of the environment variable
__SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX__, if that is set). If you give
__autoupdate__ an argument, it reads that file instead of
__configure.in__ and writes the updated file to the
standard output.


__autoupdate__ accepts the following
options:


__--help__


__-h__


Print a summary of the command line options and
exit.


__--version__


__-V__


Print the version number of Autoconf and exit.


__--verbose__


__-v__


Report processing steps.


__--debug__


__-d__


Don't remove the temporary files.


__--autoconf-dir=__''dir''


__-A__ ''dir''


Look for the installed macro files in directory ''dir''.
You can also set the __AC_MACRODIR__ environment variable
to a directory; this option overrides the environment
variable.


__--localdir=__''dir''


__-l__ ''dir''


Look for the package file __aclocal.m4__ in directory
''dir'' instead of in the current directory.
