autom4te - Generate files and scripts thanks to M4
autom4te [OPTION]... [FILES]
Run GNU M4 on the FILES, avoiding useless runs. Output the traces if tracing, the frozen file if freezing, otherwise the expansion of the FILES.
If some of the FILES are named 'FILE.m4f' they are considered to be M4 frozen files of all the previous files (which are therefore not loaded). If 'FILE.m4f' is not found, then 'FILE.m4' will be used, together with all the previous files.
Some files may be optional, i.e., will only be processed if found in the include path, but then must end in '.m4?'; the question mark is not part of the actual file name.
The environment variables 'M4' and 'WARNINGS' are honored.
SEP can be empty for the default (comma for @ and *, colon for %), a single character for that character, or {STRING} to use a string.
