GNU shtool 2.0.8 (18-Jul-2008)SYNOPSIS
shtool [ global_options ] command [ command_options ] [ command_args ]DESCRIPTION
GNU shtool is a compilation of small but very stable and portable shell scripts into a single shell tool. All ingredients were in successful use over many years in various free software projects. The compiled shtool script is intended to be used inside the source tree of those free software packages. There it can take over various (usually non-portable) tasks related to the building and installation of such packages.GLOBAL OPTIONS
The following global options are available for shtool. Any commands are ignored if one of them is present on the shtool command line.- -h, --help
- Displays a short help page describing the usage of shtool and it's ingredient commands in a compact way.
- -v, --version
- Displays the version number of shtool.
- -d, --debug
- Displays shell trace messages for debugging purposes.
- -r, --recreate
- Recreate the shtool script with its own individual shtoolize(1) call.

Some scripts contained in GNU shtool were already written in 1994 by Ralf S. Engelschall for use inside some private source trees. Then they evolved into more elaborated versions over the years and were used in various free software projects like ePerl, WML, iSelect, gFONT, etc. They were complemented with other scripts from the author which he wrote in March 1998 for the ``Apache Autoconf-style Interface'' (APACI) for Apache 1.3. In April 1999 the shtool package was created out of the accumulated master versions of the scripts and in June 1999 it entered the status of an official GNU program and this way finally joined the group of GNU autoconf, GNU automake and GNU libtool.AUTHOR
