fmake (older FreeBSD):
-p Only print the input graph, not executing any commands. =
The out-
put is the same as -d g1. When combined with -f /dev/null, =
only
the builtin rules of make are displayed.
gmake:
-p, --print-data-base
Print the data base (rules and variable values) that =
results from

ified. This also prints the version information given by =
the -v
switch (see below). To print the data base without =
trying to
remake any files, use make -p -f/dev/null.
Well, the new make (bmake) supports -d g1 so I guess you can see what =
you want to see using that. It would be really simple to add an option =
that makes -p work again, but I guess nobody else noticed its absence.
