DESCRIPTION
Rake is a simple ruby(1) build program with capabilities similar to the
regular make(1) command.
Rake 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 syn‐
tax to worry about (is that a tab or a space?).
· Users can specify tasks with prerequisites.
· Rake supports rule patterns to synthesize implicit tasks.
· Flexible FileLists that act like arrays but know about manipulating
file names and paths.
· A library of prepackaged tasks to make building rakefiles easier.
OPTIONS--version Display the program version.
-C
--classic-namespace

--nosystem Use standard project Rakefile search paths, ignore
system wide rakefiles.
-I LIBDIR
--libdir LIBDIR Include LIBDIR in the search path for required mod‐
ules.
-N
--no-search
--nosearch Do not search parent directories for the Rakefile.
-P
--prereqs Display the tasks and dependencies, then exit.
-R RAKELIBDIR
--rakelib RAKELIBDIR
--rakelibdir RAKELIBDIR
