5.4 aclocal options

aclocal accepts the following options:

--acdir=dir

Look for the macro files in dir instead of the installation directory. This is typically used for debugging.

--help

Print a summary of the command line options and exit.

-I dir

Add the directory dir to the list of directories searched for `.m4' files.

--output=file

Cause the output to be put into file instead of `aclocal.m4'.

--print-ac-dir

Prints the name of the directory which aclocal will search to find third-party `.m4' files. When this option is given, normal processing is suppressed. This option can be used by a package to determine where to install a macro file.

--verbose

Print the names of the files it examines.

--version

Print the version number of Automake and exit.
