It runs autoconf (and autoheader, where appropriate) repeatedly to remake the Autoconf configure scripts and configuration header templates in the directory tree rooted at the current directory. By default, it only remakes those files that are older than their configure.ac or (if present) aclocal.m4. Since autoheader does not change the timestamp of its output file if the file wouldn't be changing, this is not necessarily the minimum amount of work. If you install a new version of Autoconf, you can make autoreconf remake all of the files by giving it the --force option. If you give autoreconf the --autoconf-dir=dir or --localdir=dir options, it passes them down to autoconf and autoheader (with relative paths adjusted properly). autoreconf does not support having, in the same directory tree, both directories that are parts of a larger package (sharing aclocal.m4 and acconfig.h), and directories that are independent packages (each with their own aclocal.m4 and acconfig.h). It assumes that they are all part of the same package, if you use --localdir, or that each directory is a separate package, if you don't use it. This restriction may be removed in the future. autoreconf accepts the following options:
