Print Variable Information (print)¶
print [variable]
Expand remake variables.
Variable names should not be preceded with a dollar sign.
Note however that a more versatile print command is examine which can print arbitrary string expands which of course includes variable.
If you omit variable, the last expression again is displayed again..
Examples:¶
remake<0> print SHELL
Makefile:168 (origin: makefile) SHELL = /bin/sh
/tmp/remake/Makefile:243: Makefile.in
remake<1> print $MAKE # don't use $
Can't find variable $MAKE
/tmp/remake/Makefile:243: Makefile.in
remake<1> print shell # note case is significant
