## SYNOPSIS

makefile - Make file

## FILES

hkmake.emf - Make file hook definition
make.etf - Template file

## EXTENSIONS

Makefile, makefile, .mak - Makefiles.

## MAGIC STRINGS

-!- makefile -!-

Recognized by MicroEmacs only, defines the file to be a makefile.

## DESCRIPTION

The make file type template handles the hilighting of the makefile files.

General Editing

On creating a new file, a new header is automatically included into the file. time(2m) is by default enabled, allowing the modification time-stamp to be maintained in the header.

By default, `TAB`'s are enabled as this is the syntactical feature of the file.

Hilighting

The hilighting emphasizes the keywords and comments within the makefile. No special support for Microsoft nmake(1) is provided because of the number of oddities in their implementation of make.

## BUGS

No attempt is made to hilight any embedded shell commands.

## SEE ALSO

imakefile(9), time(2m).
