# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. # Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and # the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. # You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| jam: jam (Make Redux) jam: jam: Jam is a program construction tool, like make(1). Jam recursively jam: builds target files from source files, using dependency information jam: and updating actions expressed in the Jambase file, which is written jam: in jam's own interpreted language. The default Jambase is compiled jam: into jam and provides a boilerplate for common use, relying on a jam: user-provide file "Jamfile" to enumerate actual targets and sources. jam: jam: http://public.perforce.com/public/jam/src/Jam.html jam:
