mkdep(1)
NAME
  mkdep - generate dependency list from a C program

SYNOPSIS
  mkdep [-a] [-f depend_file] [-p] [cc_options] file...

  The mkdep command generates a dependency list file from a C source program.

OPTIONS
  -a  Causes mkdep to append its output to the end of the dependency file
      instead of creating a new dependency file.  If the dependency file does
      not exist, mkdep creates it.

  -f depend_file
      Specifies a name for the dependency file; overrides the default file
      name .depend.

  -p  Inhibits mkdep from appending the suffix .o to the names of object
      files listed in the output.

DESCRIPTION
  The mkdep command uses cc(1) to compile a list of dependency files required
  to build the named C program file or files.  The list is formatted so that
  it is suitable for inclusion into a makefile for make(1).  Duplicate
  dependency listings for a given program are included only once in the
  output.

  You can specify C compiler options by including them in the command line;
  mkdep passes all unrecognized options through to the compiler.

  By default, mkdep writes to a file named .depend; use the -f option to
  specify an alternative output file name.

EXAMPLES
  The following example illustrates the use of mkdep with the -p option:

       % cat hello.c
       #include <stdio.h>

       main() {

	       printf("%s0","Hello World!");
       }
       % mkdep -p -f hello.depend hello.c
       % cat hello.depend
       hello:  hello.c /usr/include/stdio.h /usr/include/standards.h
       hello:  /usr/include/sys/types.h /usr/include/standards.h
       hello:  /usr/include/mach/machine/vm_types.h /usr/include/sys/limits.h
       hello:  /usr/include/standards.h /usr/include/machine/machlimits.h
       hello:  /usr/include/sys/syslimits.h /usr/include/float.h
       hello:  /usr/include/standards.h /usr/include/fp_class.h
       hello:  /usr/include/machine/machtime.h
