RAKE(1)RAKE(1)NAMErake - simple build program similar to make
SYNOPSISrake [options]
DESCRIPTIONrake has the following features:
* Rakefiles (rake's version of Makefiles) are completely defined in
standard Ruby syntax. No XML files to edit. No quirky Makefile
syntax to worry about (is that a tab or a space?)
* Users can specify tasks with prerequisites.
* Rake supports rule patterns to sythesize implicit tasks.
* Rake is lightweight. It can be distributed with other projects as a
single file. Projects that depend upon rake do not require that
rake be installed on target systems.
