The target will always be rebuilt if given as an argument to +.IR redo-ifchange(1) . +.SH EXAMPLES +.PP +Consider the following three dofiles +.IR all.do , +.IR b.do +and +.IR c.do : +.TP +.I all.do +.br +#!/bin/sh +.br +redo-ifchange b +.TP +.I b.do +.br +#!/bin/sh +.br +redo-ifchange c +.br +sleep 1 +.br +date +%s +.TP +.I c.do +.br +#!/bin/sh +.br +redo-always +.br +date +%s +.PP +Invoking +.IR redo(1) +in a directory with these three files will build a file named +.I c +containing a timestamp and a file named +.I b +containing a timestamp that is at least one second later. Both +.I b +and +.I c +will always be rebuilt when +.IR redo(1) +is invoked, as the default target +.I all +depends on +.I b +which in turn depends on +.I c +which has an impossible to satisfy dependency. +.SH HISTORY +.I redo-always +was designed by Avery Pennarun as part of his +.I redo +implementation and implemented by Nils Dagsson Moskopp. +.SH AUTHOR +.I redo-always +and this man page were written by Nils Dagsson Moskopp. +.SH COPYRIGHT +Copyright © 2014-2016 Nils Dagsson Moskopp. +License AGPLv3+: GNU Affero GPL version 3 or later <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.html>. +This is free software: you are free to change and redistribute it.
