The program will ignore any option that it does not understand, so you may use the same arguments that you would for
cc(1), including
-D and
-U options to define and undefine symbols and
-I to set the include path.
-a
Append the dependencies to the file instead of replacing existing dependencies.
-cccompiler
Use this compiler to generate dependencies.
-fmakefile
Filename. This allows you to specify an alternate makefile in which ccmakedep can place its output. Specifying “-” as the file name (that is, -f-) sends the output to standard output instead of modifying an existing file.
-sstring
Starting string delimiter. This option permits you to specify a different string for ccmakedep to look for in the makefile. The default is “# DO NOT DELETE”.
-v
Be verbose: display the C compiler command before running it.
-- options --
If ccmakedep encounters a double hyphen (--) in the argument list, then any unrecognized arguments following it will be silently ignored. A second double hyphen terminates this special treatment. In this way, ccmakedep can be made to safely ignore esoteric compiler arguments that might normally be found in a CFLAGS make macro (see the EXAMPLE section above). -D, -I, and -U options appearing between the pair of double hyphens are still processed normally.
