REDO-IFCREATE(1)

NAME
redo-ifcreate -- record dependencies

SYNOPSIS
redo-ifcreate filenames...

DESCRIPTION
redo-ifcreate is a dependency redcording utility that is run by a "do" script that is in turn invoked by redo.

redo-ifcreate records that the current target (whose "do" script is being run) depends from the dependencies named filenames. The dependency recorded is that the current target should be built if filenames is created. In other words, the target depends from the non-existence of the dependencies.

If a filename denotes a file or directory that exists at the time that the command is run, then redo-ifcreate exits with a failure status. If any of the dependencies are later created, the target will be considered out of date.
