## DESCRIPTION

Jam is a program construction tool, like make(1).

Jam recursively builds target files from source files, using dependency information and updating actions expressed in the Jambase file, which is written in jam's own interpreted language. The default Jambase is compiled into jam and provides a boilerplate for common use, relying on a user-provide file "Jamfile" to enumerate actual targets and sources.

## OPTIONS

``

- Build all targets anyway, even if they are up-to-date.

`-d ```

- Enable cumulative debugging levels from 1 to ``

  Show dependency analysis, and target/source timestamps/paths

Show directory/header file/archive scans

`-d +```

- Enable debugging level ``

``

- Turn off all debugging levels. Only errors are not suppressed.

`-f ```

- Read ``

`-j ```

- Run up to ``

``

- Don't actually execute the updating actions, but do everything else. This changes the debug level default to ``

`-o ```

- Write the updating actions to the specified file instead of running them (or outputting them, as on the Mac).

`-s ```

- Set the variable ``

`-t ```

- Rebuild ``

``

- Print the version of jam and exit.
