mk

Task runner for targets described in Mkfile. Mostly used to control the compilation of an executable from source code. More information: http://doc.cat-v.org/plan_9/4th_edition/papers/mk.
  • Call the first target specified in the Mkfile (usually named "all"):
    mk
  • Call a specific target:
    mk {{target}}
  • Call a specific target, executing 4 jobs at a time in parallel:
    NPROC=4 mk {{target}}
  • Force mking of a target, even if source files are unchanged:
    mk -w{{target}} {{target}}
  • Assume all targets to be out of date. Thus, update target and all of its dependencies:
    mk -a {{target}}
  • Keep going as far as possible on error:
    mk -k
