>Description:
make is bmake, but man make documents pmake. man make starts with:
NAME
make -- maintain program dependencies
SYNOPSIS
make [-BeikNnqrstWwX] [-C directory] [-D variable] [-d flags]
[-f makefile] [-I directory] [-J private] [-j max_jobs]
[-m directory] [-T file] [-V variable] [variable=value] [target ...]
DESCRIPTION
make is a program designed to simplify the maintenance of other programs.
Its input is a list of specifications as to the files upon which programs
and other files depend. If no -f makefile makefile option is given, make
will try to open `makefile' then `Makefile' in order to find the specifi-
cations. If the file `.depend' exists, it is read (see mkdep(1)).
This manual page is intended as a reference document only. For a more
thorough description of make and makefiles, please refer to PMake - A
Tutorial.
But make is clearly bmake:
% make -h
usage: make [-BeikNnqrstWwX]
[-C directory] [-D variable] [-d flags] [-f makefile]
[-I directory] [-J private] [-j max_jobs] [-m directory] [-T file]
[-V variable] [variable=value] [target ...]
