configure(1) is the common name of a shell script that calls shell functions defined in functions(3) to create a makefile for building a product using GNU make.
The behaviour of the shell functions can be controlled by giving command line options to configure(1) (which are parsed and handled by functions(3)).
Disable compiler(3).
Do not download anything, just generate the makefile. Disables fetch(3).
Do not (download MD5 and) check integrity for fetched files and packages. Does nothing for packages fetched from CVS.
Do not generate the makefile, just download files and packages. Disables output(3).
Do not re-execute. Disables conditional_reexec(3).
Download files and packages matching the (egrep) regular expression RE, even those that already exists in the local tree. If RE is omitted, all files and packages will be downloaded.
Display this help and exit.
All revision information will be ignored when checking out files and packages from CVS. fetch(3) still only downloads files and packages that do not exist in the local tree. So, in most cases you probably want to use --force-fetch or --update as well.
Do not use terminal colors. Terminal colors are used in output if the terminal device is determined to be a TTY. This option disables the use of colors regardless.
Do not show the progress spinner. The spinner is shown if the terminal device is determined to be a TTY. This option disables it regardless.
Pretend to fetch files and packages and to generate the makefile, showing what would have been done instead of actually doing it. Included files may be downloaded, but the local tree will not be modified.
Update files and packages matching the (egrep) regular expression RE to the revisions specified in the configure script. If RE is omitted, all files and packages will be updated.
Print verbose information.
Set buildtype to BT. Overrides buildtype(3).
