NAME
       libtoolize - add libtool support to your package

SYNOPSIS
       libtoolize [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION
       The  `libtoolize'  program  provides a standard way to add
       libtool support to your package.  In the  future,  it  may
       implement better usage checking, or other features to make
       libtool even easier to use.

OPTIONS
       libtoolize accepts the following options:

       --automake
              Work silently, and  assume  that  Automake  libtool
              support is used.

              `libtoolize  --automake' is used by Automake to add
              libtool    files    to    your    package,     when
              `AC_PROG_LIBTOOL' appears in your `configure.in'.

       --copy, -c
              Copy  files  from the libtool data directory rather
              than creating symlinks.

       --dry-run, -n
              Don't run any commands that modify the file system,
              just print them out.

       --force, -f
              Replace   existing   libtool  files.   By  default,
              `libtoolize' won't overwrite existing files.

       --help Display a help message and exit.

       --ltdl Install libltdl in a subdirectory of your  package.

       --ltdl-tar
              Add the file `libltdl.tar.gz' to your package.

       --version
              Print `libtoolize' version information and exit.

              If   `libtoolize'   detects  an  explicit  call  to
              `AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR' in your `configure.in', it will
              put the files in the specified directory.

              `libtoolize' displays hints for adding libtool sup-
              port to your package, as well.
