19 !!DESCRIPTION
20
21
22 The __autoupdate2.13__ program updates a
23 __configure.in__ file that calls Autoconf macros by their
24 old names to use the current macro names. In version 2 of
25 Autoconf, most of the macros were renamed to use a more
26 uniform and descriptive naming scheme. Although the old
27 names still work , you can make your __configure.in__
28 files more readable and make it easier to use the current
29 Autoconf documentation if you update them to use the new
30 macro names. If given no arguments, __autoupdate2.13__
31 updates __configure.in__, backing up the original version
32 with the suffix __~__ (or the value of the environment
33 variable __SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX__, if that is set). If
34 you give __autoupdate2.13__ an argument, it reads that
35 file instead of __configure.in__ and writes the updated
36 file to the standard output.
