This command runs multiple makefiles to completely rebuild the system.

|
|
|
<envar>WORLDOPTS</envar>="" disables the default setting to continue after
|
|
|
|
|
encountering an error. <parameter>2>&1</parameter> redirects error messages
|
|
|
|
|
to the same location as normal output. The <command>tee</command> command
|
|
|
|
|
allows viewing of the output while logging the results to a file. The parentheses
|
|
|
|
|
around the command run the entire comand in a subshell and finally the
|
|
|
|
|
<command>exit $PIPESTATUS</command> ensures the result of the <command>make</command>
|
|
|
|
|
is returned as the result and not the result of the <command>tee</command> command.</para>
