Step out (finish)

finish [ count ]

Run to the completion of the target, which is also known as “step out”.

With no arguments, remake runs to the end of the target. Any prerequisite checking and building that needs to occur is done and any shell commands that occur get run.

This is analogous to “step out” in programming-language debuggers.

When count is a positive number, run finish count additional times. The default value is 0.
