make -- maintain program dependencies
make [-BeikNnqrstWwX] [-C directory] [-D variable] [-d flags] [-f makefile] [-I directory] [-J private] [-j max_jobs] [-m directory] [-T file] [-V variable] [-v variable] [variable=value] [target ...]
make is a program designed to simplify the maintenance of other programs. Its input is a list of specifications as to the files upon which programs and other files depend. If no -f makefile makefile option is given, make will try to open `makefile' then `Makefile' in order to find the specifi- cations. If the file `.depend' exists, it is read (see mkdep(1)). This manual page is intended as a reference document only. For a more thorough description of make and makefiles, please refer to PMake - A Tutorial. make will prepend the contents of the MAKEFLAGS environment variable to the command line arguments before parsing them. The options are as follows: -B Try to be backwards compatible by executing a single shell per command and by executing the commands to make the sources of a dependency line in sequence. -C directory Change to directory before reading the makefiles or doing any- thing else. If multiple -C options are specified, each is inter- preted relative to the previous one: -C / -C etc is equivalent to -C /etc. -D variable Define variable to be 1, in the global context. -d [-]flags Turn on debugging, and specify which portions of make are to print debugging information. Unless the flags are preceded by `-' they are added to the MAKEFLAGS environment variable and will be processed by any child make processes. By default, debugging information is printed to standard error, but this can be changed using the F debugging flag. The debugging output is always unbuffered; in addition, if debugging is enabled but debugging output is not directed to standard output, then the standard out- put is line buffered. Flags is one or more of the following: A Print all possible debugging information; equivalent to specifying all of the debugging flags. a Print debugging information about archive searching and caching. C Print debugging information about current working direc- tory. c Print debugging information about conditional evaluation. d Print debugging information about directory searching and caching. e Print debugging information about failed commands and targets. F[+]filename Specify where debugging output is written. This must be the last flag, because it consumes the remainder of the argument. If the character immediately after the `F' flag is `+', then the file will be opened in append mode; otherwise the file will be overwritten. If the file name is `stdout' or `stderr' then debugging output will be written to the standard output or standard error output file descriptors respectively (and the `+' option has no effect). Otherwise, the output will be written to the named file. If the file name ends `.%d' then the `%d' is replaced by the pid. f Print debugging information about loop evaluation. g1 Print the input graph before making anything. g2 Print the input graph after making everything, or before exiting on error. g3 Print the input graph before exiting on error. j Print debugging information about running multiple shells. l Print commands in Makefiles regardless of whether or not they are prefixed by `@' or other "quiet" flags. Also known as "loud" behavior. M Print debugging information about "meta" mode decisions about targets. m Print debugging information about making targets, includ- ing modification dates. n Don't delete the temporary command scripts created when running commands. These temporary scripts are created in the directory referred to by the TMPDIR environment vari- able, or in /tmp if TMPDIR is unset or set to the empty string. The temporary scripts are created by mkstemp(3), and have names of the form makeXXXXXX. NOTE: This can create many files in TMPDIR or /tmp, so use with care. p Print debugging information about makefile parsing. s Print debugging information about suffix-transformation rules. t Print debugging information about target list mainte- nance. V Force the -V option to print raw values of variables, overriding the default behavior set via .MAKE.EXPAND_VARIABLES. v Print debugging information about variable assignment. x Run shell commands with -x so the actual commands are printed as they are executed. -e Specify that environment variables override macro assignments within makefiles. -f makefile Specify a makefile to read instead of the default `makefile'. If makefile is `-', standard input is read. Multiple makefiles may be specified, and are read in the order specified. -I directory Specify a directory in which to search for makefiles and included makefiles. The system makefile directory (or directories, see the -m option) is automatically included as part of this list. -i Ignore non-zero exit of shell commands in the makefile. Equiva- lent to specifying `-' before each command line in the makefile. -J private This option should not be specified by the user. When the j option is in use in a recursive build, this option is passed by a make to child makes to allow all the make processes in the build to cooperate to avoid overloading the system. -j max_jobs Specify the maximum number of jobs that make may have running at any one time. The value is saved in .MAKE.JOBS. Turns compati- bility mode off, unless the B flag is also specified. When com- patibility mode is off, all commands associated with a target are executed in a single shell invocation as opposed to the tradi- tional one shell invocation per line. This can break traditional scripts which change directories on each command invocation and then expect to start with a fresh environment on the next line. It is more efficient to correct the scripts rather than turn backwards compatibility on. -k Continue processing after errors are encountered, but only on those targets that do not depend on the target whose creation caused the error. -m directory Specify a directory in which to search for sys.mk and makefiles included via the <file>-style include statement. The -m option can be used multiple times to form a search path. This path will override the default system include path: /usr/share/mk. Fur- thermore the system include path will be appended to the search path used for "file"-style include statements (see the -I option). If a file or directory name in the -m argument (or the MAKESYSPATH environment variable) starts with the string ".../" then make will search for the specified file or directory named in the remaining part of the argument string. The search starts with the current directory of the Makefile and then works upward towards the root of the file system. If the search is success- ful, then the resulting directory replaces the ".../" specifica- tion in the -m argument. If used, this feature allows make to easily search in the current source tree for customized sys.mk files (e.g., by using ".../mk/sys.mk" as an argument). -n Display the commands that would have been executed, but do not actually execute them unless the target depends on the .MAKE spe- cial source (see below). -N Display the commands which would have been executed, but do not actually execute any of them; useful for debugging top-level makefiles without descending into subdirectories. -q Do not execute any commands, but exit 0 if the specified targets are up-to-date and 1, otherwise. -r Do not use the built-in rules specified in the system makefile. -s Do not echo any commands as they are executed. Equivalent to specifying `@' before each command line in the makefile. -T tracefile When used with the -j flag, append a trace record to tracefile for each job started and completed. -t Rather than re-building a target as specified in the makefile, create it or update its modification time to make it appear up- to-date. -V variable Print the value of variable. Do not build any targets. Multiple instances of this option may be specified; the variables will be printed one per line, with a blank line for each null or unde- fined variable. The value printed is extracted from the global context after all makefiles have been read. By default, the raw variable contents (which may include additional unexpanded vari- able references) are shown. If variable contains a `$' then the value will be recursively expanded to its complete resultant text before printing. The expanded value will also be printed if .MAKE.EXPAND_VARIABLES is set to true and the -dV option has not been used to override it. Note that loop-local and target-local variables, as well as values taken temporarily by global vari- ables during makefile processing, are not accessible via this option. The -dv debug mode can be used to see these at the cost of generating substantial extraneous output. -v variable Like -V but the variable is always expanded to its complete value. -W Treat any warnings during makefile parsing as errors. -w Print entering and leaving directory messages, pre and post pro- cessing. -X Don't export variables passed on the command line to the environ- ment individually. Variables passed on the command line are still exported via the MAKEFLAGS environment variable. This option may be useful on systems which have a small limit on the size of command arguments. variable=value Set the value of the variable variable to value. Normally, all values passed on the command line are also exported to sub-makes in the environment. The -X flag disables this behavior. Vari- able assignments should follow options for POSIX compatibility but no ordering is enforced. There are seven different types of lines in a makefile: file dependency specifications, shell commands, variable assignments, include statements, conditional directives, for loops, and comments. In general, lines may be continued from one line to the next by ending them with a backslash (`\'). The trailing newline character and initial whitespace on the following line are compressed into a single space.
Dependency lines consist of one or more targets, an operator, and zero or more sources. This creates a relationship where the targets ``depend'' on the sources and are usually created from them. The exact relationship between the target and the source is determined by the operator that sep- arates them. The three operators are as follows: : A target is considered out-of-date if its modification time is less than those of any of its sources. Sources for a target accumulate over dependency lines when this operator is used. The target is removed if make is interrupted. ! Targets are always re-created, but not until all sources have been examined and re-created as necessary. Sources for a target accumu- late over dependency lines when this operator is used. The target is removed if make is interrupted. :: If no sources are specified, the target is always re-created. Oth- erwise, a target is considered out-of-date if any of its sources has been modified more recently than the target. Sources for a target do not accumulate over dependency lines when this operator is used. The target will not be removed if make is interrupted. Targets and sources may contain the shell wildcard values `?', `*', `[]', and `{}'. The values `?', `*', and `[]' may only be used as part of the final component of the target or source, and must be used to describe existing files. The value `{}' need not necessarily be used to describe existing files. Expansion is in directory order, not alphabetically as done in the shell.
Each target may have associated with it one or more lines of shell com- mands, normally used to create the target. Each of the lines in this script must be preceded by a tab. (For historical reasons, spaces are not accepted.) While targets can appear in many dependency lines if desired, by default only one of these rules may be followed by a creation script. If the `::' operator is used, however, all rules may include scripts and the scripts are executed in the order found. Each line is treated as a separate shell command, unless the end of line is escaped with a backslash (`\') in which case that line and the next are combined. If the first characters of the command are any combination of `@', `+', or `-', the command is treated specially. A `@' causes the command not to be echoed before it is executed. A `+' causes the command to be executed even when -n is given. This is similar to the effect of the .MAKE special source, except that the effect can be limited to a sin- gle line of a script. A `-' in compatibility mode causes any non-zero exit status of the command line to be ignored. When make is run in jobs mode with -j max_jobs, the entire script for the target is fed to a single instance of the shell. In compatibility (non- jobs) mode, each command is run in a separate process. If the command contains any shell meta characters (`#=|^(){};&<>*?[]:$`\\n') it will be passed to the shell; otherwise make will attempt direct execution. If a line starts with `-' and the shell has ErrCtl enabled then failure of the command line will be ignored as in compatibility mode. Otherwise `-' affects the entire job; the script will stop at the first command line that fails, but the target will not be deemed to have failed. Makefiles should be written so that the mode of make operation does not change their behavior. For example, any command which needs to use ``cd'' or ``chdir'' without potentially changing the directory for subse- quent commands should be put in parentheses so it executes in a subshell. To force the use of one shell, escape the line breaks so as to make the whole script one command. For example: avoid-chdir-side-effects: @echo Building $@ in `pwd` @(cd ${.CURDIR} && ${MAKE} $@) @echo Back in `pwd` ensure-one-shell-regardless-of-mode: @echo Building $@ in `pwd`; \ (cd ${.CURDIR} && ${MAKE} $@); \ echo Back in `pwd` Since make will chdir(2) to `.OBJDIR' before executing any targets, each child process starts with that as its current working directory.
Variables in make are much like variables in the shell, and, by tradi- tion, consist of all upper-case letters. Variable assignment modifiers The five operators that can be used to assign values to variables are as follows: = Assign the value to the variable. Any previous value is overrid- den. += Append the value to the current value of the variable. ?= Assign the value to the variable if it is not already defined. := Assign with expansion, i.e. expand the value before assigning it to the variable. Normally, expansion is not done until the vari- able is referenced. NOTE: References to undefined variables are not expanded. This can cause problems when variable modifiers are used. != Expand the value and pass it to the shell for execution and assign the result to the variable. Any newlines in the result are replaced with spaces. Any white-space before the assigned value is removed; if the value is being appended, a single space is inserted between the previous contents of the variable and the appended value. Variables are expanded by surrounding the variable name with either curly braces (`{}') or parentheses (`()') and preceding it with a dollar sign (`$'). If the variable name contains only a single letter, the surround- ing braces or parentheses are not required. This shorter form is not recommended. If the variable name contains a dollar, then the name itself is expanded first. This allows almost arbitrary variable names, however names con- taining dollar, braces, parenthesis, or whitespace are really best avoided! If the result of expanding a variable contains a dollar sign (`$') the string is expanded again. Variable substitution occurs at three distinct times, depending on where the variable is being used. 1. Variables in dependency lines are expanded as the line is read. 2. Variables in shell commands are expanded when the shell command is executed. 3. ``.for'' loop index variables are expanded on each loop iteration. Note that other variables are not expanded inside loops so the fol- lowing example code: .for i in 1 2 3 a+= ${i} j= ${i} b+= ${j} .endfor all: @echo ${a} @echo ${b} will print: 1 2 3 3 3 3 Because while ${a} contains ``1 2 3'' after the loop is executed, ${b} contains ``${j} ${j} ${j}'' which expands to ``3 3 3'' since after the loop completes ${j} contains ``3''. Variable classes The four different classes of variables (in order of increasing prece- dence) are: Environment variables Variables defined as part of make's environment. Global variables Variables defined in the makefile or in included makefiles. Command line variables Variables defined as part of the command line. Local variables Variables that are defined specific to a certain target. Local variables are all built in and their values vary magically from target to target. It is not currently possible to define new local vari- ables. The seven local variables are as follows: .ALLSRC The list of all sources for this target; also known as `>'. .ARCHIVE The name of the archive file; also known as `!'. .IMPSRC In suffix-transformation rules, the name/path of the source from which the target is to be transformed (the ``implied'' source); also known as `<'. It is not defined in explicit rules. .MEMBER The name of the archive member; also known as `%'. .OODATE The list of sources for this target that were deemed out- of-date; also known as `?'. .PREFIX The file prefix of the target, containing only the file portion, no suffix or preceding directory components; also known as `*'. The suffix must be one of the known suffixes declared with .SUFFIXES or it will not be recog- nized. .TARGET The name of the target; also known as `@'. For compati- bility with other makes this is an alias for .ARCHIVE in archive member rules. The shorter forms (`>', `!', `<', `%', `?', `*', and `@') are permitted for backward compatibility with historical makefiles and legacy POSIX make and are not recommended. Variants of these variables with the punctuation followed immediately by `D' or `F', e.g. `$(@D)', are legacy forms equivalent to using the `:H' and `:T' modifiers. These forms are accepted for compatibility with AT&T System V UNIX makefiles and POSIX but are not recommended. Four of the local variables may be used in sources on dependency lines because they expand to the proper value for each target on the line. These variables are `.TARGET', `.PREFIX', `.ARCHIVE', and `.MEMBER'. Additional built-in variables In addition, make sets or knows about the following variables: $ A single dollar sign `$', i.e. `$$' expands to a single dollar sign. .ALLTARGETS The list of all targets encountered in the Makefile. If evaluated during Makefile parsing, lists only those tar- gets encountered thus far. .CURDIR A path to the directory where make was executed. Refer to the description of `PWD' for more details. .INCLUDEDFROMDIR The directory of the file this Makefile was included from. .INCLUDEDFROMFILE The filename of the file this Makefile was included from. MAKE The name that make was executed with (argv[0]). For com- patibility make also sets .MAKE with the same value. The preferred variable to use is the environment variable MAKE because it is more compatible with other versions of make and cannot be confused with the special target with the same name. .MAKE.DEPENDFILE Names the makefile (default `.depend') from which gener- ated dependencies are read. .MAKE.EXPAND_VARIABLES A boolean that controls the default behavior of the -V option. If true, variable values printed with -V are fully expanded; if false, the raw variable contents (which may include additional unexpanded variable refer- ences) are shown. .MAKE.EXPORTED The list of variables exported by make. .MAKE.JOBS The argument to the -j option. .MAKE.JOB.PREFIX If make is run with j then output for each target is pre- fixed with a token `--- target ---' the first part of which can be controlled via .MAKE.JOB.PREFIX. If .MAKE.JOB.PREFIX is empty, no token is printed. For example: .MAKE.JOB.PREFIX=${.newline}---${.MAKE:T}[${.MAKE.PID}] would produce tokens like `---make[1234] target ---' mak- ing it easier to track the degree of parallelism being achieved. MAKEFLAGS The environment variable `MAKEFLAGS' may contain anything that may be specified on make's command line. Anything specified on make's command line is appended to the `MAKEFLAGS' variable which is then entered into the envi- ronment for all programs which make executes. .MAKE.LEVEL The recursion depth of make. The initial instance of make will be 0, and an incremented value is put into the environment to be seen by the next generation. This allows tests like: .if ${.MAKE.LEVEL} == 0 to protect things which should only be evaluated in the initial instance of make. .MAKE.MAKEFILE_PREFERENCE The ordered list of makefile names (default `makefile', `Makefile') that make will look for. .MAKE.MAKEFILES The list of makefiles read by make, which is useful for tracking dependencies. Each makefile is recorded only once, regardless of the number of times read. .MAKE.MODE Processed after reading all makefiles. Can affect the mode that make runs in. It can contain a number of key- words: compat Like -B, puts make into "compat" mode. meta Puts make into "meta" mode, where meta files are created for each tar- get to capture the command run, the output generated and if filemon(4) is available, the system calls which are of interest to make. The cap- tured output can be very useful when diagnosing errors. curdirOk= bf Normally make will not create .meta files in `.CURDIR'. This can be overridden by setting bf to a value which represents True. missing-meta= bf If bf is True, then a missing .meta file makes the target out-of-date. missing-filemon= bf If bf is True, then missing filemon data makes the target out-of-date. nofilemon Do not use filemon(4). env For debugging, it can be useful to include the environment in the .meta file. verbose If in "meta" mode, print a clue about the target being built. This is useful if the build is otherwise running silently. The message printed the value of: .MAKE.META.PREFIX. ignore-cmd Some makefiles have commands which are simply not stable. This keyword causes them to be ignored for deter- mining whether a target is out of date in "meta" mode. See also .NOMETA_CMP. silent= bf If bf is True, when a .meta file is created, mark the target .SILENT. .MAKE.META.BAILIWICK In "meta" mode, provides a list of prefixes which match the directories controlled by make. If a file that was generated outside of .OBJDIR but within said bailiwick is missing, the current target is considered out-of-date. .MAKE.META.CREATED In "meta" mode, this variable contains a list of all the meta files updated. If not empty, it can be used to trigger processing of .MAKE.META.FILES. .MAKE.META.FILES In "meta" mode, this variable contains a list of all the meta files used (updated or not). This list can be used to process the meta files to extract dependency informa- tion. .MAKE.META.IGNORE_PATHS Provides a list of path prefixes that should be ignored; because the contents are expected to change over time. The default list includes: `/dev /etc /proc /tmp /var/run /var/tmp' .MAKE.META.IGNORE_PATTERNS Provides a list of patterns to match against pathnames. Ignore any that match. .MAKE.META.IGNORE_FILTER Provides a list of variable modifiers to apply to each pathname. Ignore if the expansion is an empty string. .MAKE.META.PREFIX Defines the message printed for each meta file updated in "meta verbose" mode. The default value is: Building ${.TARGET:H:tA}/${.TARGET:T} .MAKEOVERRIDES This variable is used to record the names of variables assigned to on the command line, so that they may be exported as part of `MAKEFLAGS'. This behavior can be disabled by assigning an empty value to `.MAKEOVERRIDES' within a makefile. Extra variables can be exported from a makefile by appending their names to `.MAKEOVERRIDES'. `MAKEFLAGS' is re-exported whenever `.MAKEOVERRIDES' is modified. .MAKE.PATH_FILEMON If make was built with filemon(4) support, this is set to the path of the device node. This allows makefiles to test for this support. .MAKE.PID The process-id of make. .MAKE.PPID The parent process-id of make. .MAKE.SAVE_DOLLARS value should be a boolean that controls whether `$$' are preserved when doing `:=' assignments. The default is true, for compatibility with other makes. If set to false, `$$' becomes `$' per normal evaluation rules. MAKE_PRINT_VAR_ON_ERROR When make stops due to an error, it sets `.ERROR_TARGET' to the name of the target that failed, `.ERROR_CMD' to the commands of the failed target, and in "meta" mode, it also sets `.ERROR_CWD' to the getcwd(3), and `.ERROR_META_FILE' to the path of the meta file (if any) describing the failed target. It then prints its name and the value of `.CURDIR' as well as the value of any variables named in `MAKE_PRINT_VAR_ON_ERROR'. .newline This variable is simply assigned a newline character as its value. This allows expansions using the :@ modifier to put a newline between iterations of the loop rather than a space. For example, the printing of `MAKE_PRINT_VAR_ON_ERROR' could be done as ${MAKE_PRINT_VAR_ON_ERROR:@v@$v='${$v}'${.newline}@}. .OBJDIR A path to the directory where the targets are built. Its value is determined by trying to chdir(2) to the follow- ing directories in order and using the first match: 1. ${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}${.CURDIR} (Only if `MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX' is set in the environ- ment or on the command line.) 2. ${MAKEOBJDIR} (Only if `MAKEOBJDIR' is set in the environment or on the command line.) 3. ${.CURDIR}/obj.${MACHINE} 4. ${.CURDIR}/obj 5. /usr/obj/${.CURDIR} 6. ${.CURDIR} Variable expansion is performed on the value before it's used, so expressions such as ${.CURDIR:S,^/usr/src,/var/obj,} may be used. This is especially useful with `MAKEOBJDIR'. `.OBJDIR' may be modified in the makefile via the special target `.OBJDIR'. In all cases, make will chdir(2) to the specified directory if it exists, and set `.OBJDIR' and `PWD' to that directory before executing any targets. .PARSEDIR A path to the directory of the current `Makefile' being parsed. .PARSEFILE The basename of the current `Makefile' being parsed. This variable and `.PARSEDIR' are both set only while the `Makefiles' are being parsed. If you want to retain their current values, assign them to a variable using assignment with expansion: (`:='). .PATH A variable that represents the list of directories that make will search for files. The search list should be updated using the target `.PATH' rather than the vari- able. PWD Alternate path to the current directory. make normally sets `.CURDIR' to the canonical path given by getcwd(3). However, if the environment variable `PWD' is set and gives a path to the current directory, then make sets `.CURDIR' to the value of `PWD' instead. This behavior is disabled if `MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX' is set or `MAKEOBJDIR' contains a variable transform. `PWD' is set to the value of `.OBJDIR' for all programs which make executes. .TARGETS The list of targets explicitly specified on the command line, if any. VPATH Colon-separated (``:'') lists of directories that make will search for files. The variable is supported for compatibility with old make programs only, use `.PATH' instead. Variable modifiers Variable expansion may be modified to select or modify each word of the variable (where a ``word'' is white-space delimited sequence of charac- ters). The general format of a variable expansion is as follows: ${variable[:modifier[:...]]} Each modifier begins with a colon, which may be escaped with a backslash (`\'). A set of modifiers can be specified via a variable, as follows: modifier_variable=modifier[:...] ${variable:${modifier_variable}[:...]} In this case the first modifier in the modifier_variable does not start with a colon, since that must appear in the referencing variable. If any of the modifiers in the modifier_variable contain a dollar sign (`$'), these must be doubled to avoid early expansion. The supported modifiers are: :E Replaces each word in the variable with its suffix. :H Replaces each word in the variable with everything but the last com- ponent. :Mpattern Select only those words that match pattern. The standard shell wildcard characters (`*', `?', and `[]') may be used. The wildcard characters may be escaped with a backslash (`\'). As a consequence of the way values are split into words, matched, and then joined, a construct like ${VAR:M*} will normalize the inter-word spacing, removing all leading and trailing space, and converting multiple consecutive spaces to single spaces. :Npattern This is identical to `:M', but selects all words which do not match pattern. :O Order every word in variable alphabetically. To sort words in reverse order use the `:O:[-1..1]' combination of modifiers. :Ox Randomize words in variable. The results will be different each time you are referring to the modified variable; use the assignment with expansion (`:=') to prevent such behavior. For example, LIST= uno due tre quattro RANDOM_LIST= ${LIST:Ox} STATIC_RANDOM_LIST:= ${LIST:Ox} all: @echo "${RANDOM_LIST}" @echo "${RANDOM_LIST}" @echo "${STATIC_RANDOM_LIST}" @echo "${STATIC_RANDOM_LIST}" may produce output similar to: quattro due tre uno tre due quattro uno due uno quattro tre due uno quattro tre :Q Quotes every shell meta-character in the variable, so that it can be passed safely to the shell. :q Quotes every shell meta-character in the variable, and also doubles `$' characters so that it can be passed safely through recursive invocations of make. This is equivalent to: `:S/\$/&&/g:Q'. :R Replaces each word in the variable with everything but its suffix. :range[=count] The value is an integer sequence representing the words of the orig- inal value, or the supplied count. :gmtime[=utc] The value is a format string for strftime(3), using gmtime(3). If a utc value is not provided or is 0, the current time is used. :hash Compute a 32-bit hash of the value and encode it as hex digits. :localtime[=utc] The value is a format string for strftime(3), using localtime(3). If a utc value is not provided or is 0, the current time is used. :tA Attempt to convert variable to an absolute path using realpath(3), if that fails, the value is unchanged. :tl Converts variable to lower-case letters. :tsc Words in the variable are normally separated by a space on expan- sion. This modifier sets the separator to the character c. If c is omitted, then no separator is used. The common escapes (including octal numeric codes), work as expected. :tu Converts variable to upper-case letters. :tW Causes the value to be treated as a single word (possibly containing embedded white space). See also `:[*]'. :tw Causes the value to be treated as a sequence of words delimited by white space. See also `:[@]'. :S/old_string/new_string/[1gW] Modify the first occurrence of old_string in the variable's value, replacing it with new_string. If a `g' is appended to the last slash of the pattern, all occurrences in each word are replaced. If a `1' is appended to the last slash of the pattern, only the first word is affected. If a `W' is appended to the last slash of the pattern, then the value is treated as a single word (possibly con- taining embedded white space). If old_string begins with a caret (`^'), old_string is anchored at the beginning of each word. If old_string ends with a dollar sign (`$'), it is anchored at the end of each word. Inside new_string, an ampersand (`&') is replaced by old_string (without any `^' or `$'). Any character may be used as a delimiter for the parts of the modifier string. The anchoring, ampersand and delimiter characters may be escaped with a backslash (`\'). Variable expansion occurs in the normal fashion inside both old_string and new_string with the single exception that a backslash is used to prevent the expansion of a dollar sign (`$'), not a pre- ceding dollar sign as is usual. :C/pattern/replacement/[1gW] The :C modifier is just like the :S modifier except that the old and new strings, instead of being simple strings, are an extended regu- lar expression (see regex(3)) string pattern and an ed(1)-style string replacement. Normally, the first occurrence of the pattern pattern in each word of the value is substituted with replacement. The `1' modifier causes the substitution to apply to at most one word; the `g' modifier causes the substitution to apply to as many instances of the search pattern pattern as occur in the word or words it is found in; the `W' modifier causes the value to be treated as a single word (possibly containing embedded white space). Note that `1' and `g' are orthogonal; the former specifies whether multiple words are potentially affected, the latter whether multiple substitutions can potentially occur within each affected word. As for the :S modifier, the pattern and replacement are subjected to variable expansion before being parsed as regular expressions. :T Replaces each word in the variable with its last component. :u Remove adjacent duplicate words (like uniq(1)). :?true_string:false_string If the variable name (not its value), when parsed as a .if condi- tional expression, evaluates to true, return as its value the true_string, otherwise return the false_string. Since the variable name is used as the expression, :? must be the first modifier after the variable name itself - which will, of course, usually contain variable expansions. A common error is trying to use expressions like ${NUMBERS:M42:?match:no} which actually tests defined(NUMBERS), to determine is any words match "42" you need to use something like: ${"${NUMBERS:M42}" != "":?match:no}. :old_string=new_string This is the AT&T System V UNIX style variable substitution. It must be the last modifier specified. If old_string or new_string do not contain the pattern matching character % then it is assumed that they are anchored at the end of each word, so only suffixes or entire words may be replaced. Otherwise % is the substring of old_string to be replaced in new_string. Variable expansion occurs in the normal fashion inside both old_string and new_string with the single exception that a backslash is used to prevent the expansion of a dollar sign (`$'), not a pre- ceding dollar sign as is usual. :@temp@string@ This is the loop expansion mechanism from the OSF Development Envi- ronment (ODE) make. Unlike .for loops expansion occurs at the time of reference. Assign temp to each word in the variable and evaluate string. The ODE convention is that temp should start and end with a period. For example. ${LINKS:@.LINK.@${LN} ${TARGET} ${.LINK.}@} However a single character variable is often more readable: ${MAKE_PRINT_VAR_ON_ERROR:@v@$v='${$v}'${.newline}@} :_[=var] Save the current variable value in `$_' or the named var for later reference. Example usage: M_cmpv.units = 1 1000 1000000 M_cmpv = S,., ,g:_:range:@i@+ $${_:[-$$i]} \ \* $${M_cmpv.units:[$$i]}@:S,^,expr 0 ,1:sh .if ${VERSION:${M_cmpv}} < ${3.1.12:L:${M_cmpv}} Here `$_' is used to save the result of the `:S' modifier which is later referenced using the index values from `:range'. :Unewval If the variable is undefined newval is the value. If the variable is defined, the existing value is returned. This is another ODE make feature. It is handy for setting per-target CFLAGS for instance: ${_${.TARGET:T}_CFLAGS:U${DEF_CFLAGS}} If a value is only required if the variable is undefined, use: ${VAR:D:Unewval} :Dnewval If the variable is defined newval is the value. :L The name of the variable is the value. :P The path of the node which has the same name as the variable is the value. If no such node exists or its path is null, then the name of the variable is used. In order for this modifier to work, the name (node) must at least have appeared on the rhs of a dependency. :!cmd! The output of running cmd is the value. :sh If the variable is non-empty it is run as a command and the output becomes the new value. ::=str The variable is assigned the value str after substitution. This modifier and its variations are useful in obscure situations such as wanting to set a variable when shell commands are being parsed. These assignment modifiers always expand to nothing, so if appearing in a rule line by themselves should be preceded with something to keep make happy. The `::' helps avoid false matches with the AT&T System V UNIX style := modifier and since substitution always occurs the ::= form is vaguely appropriate. ::?=str As for ::= but only if the variable does not already have a value. ::+=str Append str to the variable. ::!=cmd Assign the output of cmd to the variable. :[range] Selects one or more words from the value, or performs other opera- tions related to the way in which the value is divided into words. Ordinarily, a value is treated as a sequence of words delimited by white space. Some modifiers suppress this behavior, causing a value to be treated as a single word (possibly containing embedded white space). An empty value, or a value that consists entirely of white- space, is treated as a single word. For the purposes of the `:[]' modifier, the words are indexed both forwards using positive inte- gers (where index 1 represents the first word), and backwards using negative integers (where index -1 represents the last word). The range is subjected to variable expansion, and the expanded result is then interpreted as follows: index Selects a single word from the value. start..end Selects all words from start to end, inclusive. For example, `:[2..-1]' selects all words from the second word to the last word. If start is greater than end, then the words are out- put in reverse order. For example, `:[-1..1]' selects all the words from last to first. * Causes subsequent modifiers to treat the value as a single word (possibly containing embedded white space). Analogous to the effect of "$*" in Bourne shell. 0 Means the same as `:[*]'. @ Causes subsequent modifiers to treat the value as a sequence of words delimited by white space. Analogous to the effect of "$@" in Bourne shell. # Returns the number of words in the value.
Makefile inclusion, conditional structures and for loops reminiscent of the C programming language are provided in make. All such structures are identified by a line beginning with a single dot (`.') character. Files are included with either .include <file> or .include "file". Variables between the angle brackets or double quotes are expanded to form the file name. If angle brackets are used, the included makefile is expected to be in the system makefile directory. If double quotes are used, the including makefile's directory and any directories specified using the -I option are searched before the system makefile directory. For compati- bility with other versions of make `include file ...' is also accepted. If the include statement is written as .-include or as .sinclude then errors locating and/or opening include files are ignored. If the include statement is written as .dinclude not only are errors locating and/or opening include files ignored, but stale dependencies within the included file will be ignored just like .MAKE.DEPENDFILE. Conditional expressions are also preceded by a single dot as the first character of a line. The possible conditionals are as follows: .error message The message is printed along with the name of the makefile and line number, then make will exit. .export variable ... Export the specified global variable. If no variable list is provided, all globals are exported except for internal variables (those that start with `.'). This is not affected by the -X flag, so should be used with caution. For compatibility with other make programs `export variable=value' is also accepted. Appending a variable name to .MAKE.EXPORTED is equivalent to exporting a variable. .export-env variable ... The same as `.export', except that the variable is not appended to .MAKE.EXPORTED. This allows exporting a value to the environ- ment which is different from that used by make internally. .export-literal variable ... The same as `.export-env', except that variables in the value are not expanded. .info message The message is printed along with the name of the makefile and line number. .undef variable Un-define the specified global variable. Only global variables may be un-defined. .unexport variable ... The opposite of `.export'. The specified global variable will be removed from .MAKE.EXPORTED. If no variable list is provided, all globals are unexported, and .MAKE.EXPORTED deleted. .unexport-env Unexport all globals previously exported and clear the environ- ment inherited from the parent. This operation will cause a mem- ory leak of the original environment, so should be used spar- ingly. Testing for .MAKE.LEVEL being 0, would make sense. Also note that any variables which originated in the parent environ- ment should be explicitly preserved if desired. For example: .if ${.MAKE.LEVEL} == 0 PATH := ${PATH} .unexport-env .export PATH .endif Would result in an environment containing only `PATH', which is the minimal useful environment. Actually `.MAKE.LEVEL' will also be pushed into the new environment. .warning message The message prefixed by `warning:' is printed along with the name of the makefile and line number. .if [!]expression [operator expression ...] Test the value of an expression. .ifdef [!]variable [operator variable ...] Test the value of a variable. .ifndef [!]variable [operator variable ...] Test the value of a variable. .ifmake [!]target [operator target ...] Test the target being built. .ifnmake [!] target [operator target ...] Test the target being built. .else Reverse the sense of the last conditional. .elif [!] expression [operator expression ...] A combination of `.else' followed by `.if'. .elifdef [!]variable [operator variable ...] A combination of `.else' followed by `.ifdef'. .elifndef [!]variable [operator variable ...] A combination of `.else' followed by `.ifndef'. .elifmake [!]target [operator target ...] A combination of `.else' followed by `.ifmake'. .elifnmake [!]target [operator target ...] A combination of `.else' followed by `.ifnmake'. .endif End the body of the conditional. The operator may be any one of the following: || Logical OR. && Logical AND; of higher precedence than ``||''. As in C, make will only evaluate a conditional as far as is necessary to determine its value. Parentheses may be used to change the order of evaluation. The boolean operator `!' may be used to logically negate an entire conditional. It is of higher precedence than `&&'. The value of expression may be any of the following: defined Takes a variable name as an argument and evaluates to true if the variable has been defined. make Takes a target name as an argument and evaluates to true if the target was specified as part of make's command line or was declared the default target (either implicitly or explicitly, see .MAIN) before the line containing the conditional. empty Takes a variable, with possible modifiers, and evaluates to true if the expansion of the variable would result in an empty string. exists Takes a file name as an argument and evaluates to true if the file exists. The file is searched for on the system search path (see .PATH). target Takes a target name as an argument and evaluates to true if the target has been defined. commands Takes a target name as an argument and evaluates to true if the target has been defined and has commands associated with it. Expression may also be an arithmetic or string comparison. Variable expansion is performed on both sides of the comparison, after which the integral values are compared. A value is interpreted as hexadecimal if it is preceded by 0x, otherwise it is decimal; octal numbers are not sup- ported. The standard C relational operators are all supported. If after variable expansion, either the left or right hand side of a `==' or `!=' operator is not an integral value, then string comparison is performed between the expanded variables. If no relational operator is given, it is assumed that the expanded variable is being compared against 0 or an empty string in the case of a string comparison. When make is evaluating one of these conditional expressions, and it encounters a (white-space separated) word it doesn't recognize, either the ``make'' or ``defined'' expression is applied to it, depending on the form of the conditional. If the form is `.ifdef', `.ifndef', or `.if' the ``defined'' expression is applied. Similarly, if the form is `.ifmake' or `.ifnmake', the ``make'' expression is applied. If the conditional evaluates to true the parsing of the makefile contin- ues as before. If it evaluates to false, the following lines are skipped. In both cases this continues until a `.else' or `.endif' is found. For loops are typically used to apply a set of rules to a list of files. The syntax of a for loop is: .for variable [variable ...] in expression <make-rules> .endfor After the for expression is evaluated, it is split into words. On each iteration of the loop, one word is taken and assigned to each variable, in order, and these variables are substituted into the make-rules inside the body of the for loop. The number of words must come out even; that is, if there are three iteration variables, the number of words provided must be a multiple of three.
Comments begin with a hash (`#') character, anywhere but in a shell com- mand line, and continue to the end of an unescaped new line.
.EXEC Target is never out of date, but always execute commands any- way. .IGNORE Ignore any errors from the commands associated with this tar- get, exactly as if they all were preceded by a dash (`-'). .MADE Mark all sources of this target as being up-to-date. .MAKE Execute the commands associated with this target even if the -n or -t options were specified. Normally used to mark recursive makes. .META Create a meta file for the target, even if it is flagged as .PHONY, .MAKE, or .SPECIAL. Usage in conjunction with .MAKE is the most likely case. In "meta" mode, the target is out-of- date if the meta file is missing. .NOMETA Do not create a meta file for the target. Meta files are also not created for .PHONY, .MAKE, or .SPECIAL targets. .NOMETA_CMP Ignore differences in commands when deciding if target is out of date. This is useful if the command contains a value which always changes. If the number of commands change, though, the target will still be out of date. The same effect applies to any command line that uses the variable .OODATE, which can be used for that purpose even when not otherwise needed or desired: skip-compare-for-some: @echo this will be compared @echo this will not ${.OODATE:M.NOMETA_CMP} @echo this will also be compared The :M pattern suppresses any expansion of the unwanted vari- able. .NOPATH Do not search for the target in the directories specified by .PATH. .NOTMAIN Normally make selects the first target it encounters as the default target to be built if no target was specified. This source prevents this target from being selected. .OPTIONAL If a target is marked with this attribute and make can't figure out how to create it, it will ignore this fact and assume the file isn't needed or already exists. .PHONY The target does not correspond to an actual file; it is always considered to be out of date, and will not be created with the -t option. Suffix-transformation rules are not applied to .PHONY targets. .PRECIOUS When make is interrupted, it normally removes any partially made targets. This source prevents the target from being removed. .RECURSIVE Synonym for .MAKE. .SILENT Do not echo any of the commands associated with this target, exactly as if they all were preceded by an at sign (`@'). .USE Turn the target into make's version of a macro. When the tar- get is used as a source for another target, the other target acquires the commands, sources, and attributes (except for .USE) of the source. If the target already has commands, the .USE target's commands are appended to them. .USEBEFORE Exactly like .USE, but prepend the .USEBEFORE target commands to the target. .WAIT If .WAIT appears in a dependency line, the sources that precede it are made before the sources that succeed it in the line. Since the dependents of files are not made until the file itself could be made, this also stops the dependents being built unless they are needed for another branch of the depen- dency tree. So given: x: a .WAIT b echo x a: echo a b: b1 echo b b1: echo b1 the output is always `a', `b1', `b', `x'. The ordering imposed by .WAIT is only relevant for parallel makes.
Special targets may not be included with other targets, i.e. they must be the only target specified. .BEGIN Any command lines attached to this target are executed before anything else is done. .DEFAULT This is sort of a .USE rule for any target (that was used only as a source) that make can't figure out any other way to create. Only the shell script is used. The .IMPSRC variable of a target that inherits .DEFAULT's commands is set to the target's own name. .DELETE_ON_ERROR If this target is present in the makefile, it globally causes make to delete targets whose commands fail. (By default, only targets whose commands are interrupted during execution are deleted. This is the historical behavior.) This setting can be used to help prevent half-finished or malformed targets from being left around and corrupting future rebuilds. .END Any command lines attached to this target are executed after everything else is done. .ERROR Any command lines attached to this target are executed when another target fails. The .ERROR_TARGET variable is set to the target that failed. See also MAKE_PRINT_VAR_ON_ERROR. .IGNORE Mark each of the sources with the .IGNORE attribute. If no sources are specified, this is the equivalent of specifying the -i option. .INTERRUPT If make is interrupted, the commands for this target will be executed. .MAIN If no target is specified when make is invoked, this target will be built. .MAKEFLAGS This target provides a way to specify flags for make when the makefile is used. The flags are as if typed to the shell, though the -f option will have no effect. .NOPATH Apply the .NOPATH attribute to any specified sources. .NOTPARALLEL Disable parallel mode. .NO_PARALLEL Synonym for .NOTPARALLEL, for compatibility with other pmake variants. .OBJDIR The source is a new value for `.OBJDIR'. If it exists, make will chdir(2) to it and update the value of `.OBJDIR'. .ORDER The named targets are made in sequence. This ordering does not add targets to the list of targets to be made. Since the depen- dents of a target do not get built until the target itself could be built, unless `a' is built by another part of the dependency graph, the following is a dependency loop: .ORDER: b a b: a The ordering imposed by .ORDER is only relevant for parallel makes. .PATH The sources are directories which are to be searched for files not found in the current directory. If no sources are speci- fied, any previously specified directories are deleted. If the source is the special .DOTLAST target, then the current working directory is searched last. .PATH.suffix Like .PATH but applies only to files with a particular suffix. The suffix must have been previously declared with .SUFFIXES. .PHONY Apply the .PHONY attribute to any specified sources. .PRECIOUS Apply the .PRECIOUS attribute to any specified sources. If no sources are specified, the .PRECIOUS attribute is applied to every target in the file. .SHELL Sets the shell that make will use to execute commands. The sources are a set of field=value pairs. name This is the minimal specification, used to select one of the built-in shell specs; sh, ksh, and csh. path Specifies the path to the shell. hasErrCtl Indicates whether the shell supports exit on error. check The command to turn on error checking. ignore The command to disable error checking. echo The command to turn on echoing of commands executed. quiet The command to turn off echoing of commands exe- cuted. filter The output to filter after issuing the quiet com- mand. It is typically identical to quiet. errFlag The flag to pass the shell to enable error checking. echoFlag The flag to pass the shell to enable command echo- ing. newline The string literal to pass the shell that results in a single newline character when used outside of any quoting characters. Example: .SHELL: name=ksh path=/bin/ksh hasErrCtl=true \ check="set -e" ignore="set +e" \ echo="set -v" quiet="set +v" filter="set +v" \ echoFlag=v errFlag=e newline="'\n'" .SILENT Apply the .SILENT attribute to any specified sources. If no sources are specified, the .SILENT attribute is applied to every command in the file. .STALE This target gets run when a dependency file contains stale entries, having .ALLSRC set to the name of that dependency file. .SUFFIXES Each source specifies a suffix to make. If no sources are spec- ified, any previously specified suffixes are deleted. It allows the creation of suffix-transformation rules. Example: .SUFFIXES: .o .c.o: cc -o ${.TARGET} -c ${.IMPSRC}
make uses the following environment variables, if they exist: MACHINE, MACHINE_ARCH, MAKE, MAKEFLAGS, MAKEOBJDIR, MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX, MAKESYSPATH, PWD, and TMPDIR. MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX and MAKEOBJDIR may only be set in the environment or on the command line to make and not as makefile variables; see the descrip- tion of `.OBJDIR' for more details.
.depend list of dependencies Makefile list of dependencies makefile list of dependencies sys.mk system makefile /usr/share/mk system makefile directory
The basic make syntax is compatible between different versions of make; however the special variables, variable modifiers and conditionals are not. Older versions An incomplete list of changes in older versions of make: The way that .for loop variables are substituted changed after NetBSD 5.0 so that they still appear to be variable expansions. In particular this stops them being treated as syntax, and removes some obscure problems using them in .if statements. The way that parallel makes are scheduled changed in NetBSD 4.0 so that .ORDER and .WAIT apply recursively to the dependent nodes. The algo- rithms used may change again in the future. Other make dialects Other make dialects (GNU make, SVR4 make, POSIX make, etc.) do not sup- port most of the features of make as described in this manual. Most notably: · The .WAIT and .ORDER declarations and most functionality per- taining to parallelization. (GNU make supports parallelization but lacks these features needed to control it effectively.) · Directives, including for loops and conditionals and most of the forms of include files. (GNU make has its own incompatible and less powerful syntax for conditionals.) · All built-in variables that begin with a dot. · Most of the special sources and targets that begin with a dot, with the notable exception of .PHONY, .PRECIOUS, and .SUFFIXES. · Variable modifiers, except for the :old=new string substitution, which does not portably support globbing with `%' and historically only works on declared suffixes. · The $> variable even in its short form; most makes support this functionality but its name varies. Some features are somewhat more portable, such as assignment with +=, ?=, and !=. The .PATH functionality is based on an older feature VPATH found in GNU make and many versions of SVR4 make; however, historically its behavior is too ill-defined (and too buggy) to rely upon. The $@ and $< variables are more or less universally portable, as is the $(MAKE) variable. Basic use of suffix rules (for files only in the cur- rent directory, not trying to chain transformations together, etc.) is also reasonably portable.
A make command appeared in Version 7 AT&T UNIX. This make implementation is based on Adam De Boor's pmake program which was written for Sprite at Berkeley. It was designed to be a parallel distributed make running jobs on different machines using a daemon called ``customs''. Historically the target/dependency ``FRC'' has been used to FoRCe rebuilding (since the target/dependency does not exist... unless someone creates an ``FRC'' file).
The make syntax is difficult to parse without actually acting on the data. For instance, finding the end of a variable's use should involve scanning each of the modifiers, using the correct terminator for each field. In many places make just counts {} and () in order to find the end of a variable expansion. There is no way of escaping a space character in a filename. NetBSD 9.1 February 16, 2019 NetBSD 9.1

When a visitor, client or colleague walks into your office, it is important to offer a place for hanging coats. Where can you get a functional coat rack? Hertz Furniture's selection offers a number of different styles and sizes, so you can find the ideal choice for your space.
Whether you are looking for a freestanding unit or some wall-mounted coat hooks, we have it all. We also offer portable options which are perfect for special events. Our variety of classic and contemporary designs will help you determine the style and configuration that suits your needs.
Coat racks are an important accessory when you want to keep your visitors' coats and hats neat and tidy, ensuring that your office stays organized. If you are short on space, wall-mounted units fit the bill. Glaro has modular aluminum racks which are made in sections, so you can order the perfect size for your space. They have an accessory shelf on top as well as a hanging space for outerwear.
What is the best way to hang up coats on the wall?
Wall units come in many configurations. There is the option of getting extra shelves on top for hats, coats, umbrellas and other accessories. Wall-mounted coat racks come either with one long hanging bar or individual hooks in rows. Individual hooks are good because they provide personal spaces that make it easier to find coats in a rush. This minimizes the risk of hanging your coat in one place and finding it moved down the rack in a completely different place later in the day, as well as the possibility of confusing your coat with another person's. Combinations of hooks and rows are available as well.
Should I get a costumer or wall mounted coat rack?
Free-standing coat racks have the advantage of portability. They can be set up when there is inclement weather and removed when they are no longer needed, so they won't crowd precious space in reception rooms or common areas unnecessarily. They are also easier to move when you are rearranging furniture, and can be moved from room to room as needed.
There are a number of portable options. Some of our coat racks include wheels, so they can easily be rolled from place to place. If you need a place to hang outerwear for special events such as a banquet, charity dinner or holiday party, folding coat rack models are an excellent choice. They are sturdy and dependable, and can easily be put into storage when not in use.
How can I provide a classy place to hang coats?
For a classy look that is more appealing than steel or aluminum, try one of our attractive coat trees. Costumers come with various hook configurations and fit perfectly in corners or small spaces. When they are not occupied by coats, hats and umbrellas, they don't take up very much room at all. They are easy to move when not needed or rearranging. Check out our selection of solid wood Lesro coat trees, which come in a choice of warm professional hues.
Where can I hang a few coats?
If you don't quite need a full coat rack, but could definitely benefit from a few hanging spaces on the wall, industrial-strength aluminum wall coat hooks are an excellent option. They mount easily to walls, doors and partitions, so you can place them anywhere you need them. This configuration works well in a personal office, small company or a work space that is shared among a few people. Wall hooks are available in single, double and triple units.
In addition to the aluminum option, you may also want to consider a few wall hooks that are mounted onto a solid wood backing. This attractive arrangement is ideal for reception areas because of its professional appearance. The solid oak backing designates a hanging area, making it easier to find.
What kind of coat tree will fit with my classroom furniture?
Looking for some great hanging space for your classroom? Try a mobile backpack coat rack from Academia. this portable unit is designed for the classroom. It keeps backpacks, outerwear and accessories organized, so all belongings can stay close at hand, and students don't have to run back and forth to lockers. Convenient nameplates make it easy to stay organized and provide each student with a personal space.
If you are buying a coat rack with hanger slots or a hanging rod, you will of course need to make sure that you have plenty of hangers. Hangers are available in a choice of styles so you can choose the right option for your needs. Closed loop hangers are great because they stay on the rack and cannot get lost, removed or scattered all over the floor. There are also slotted-style plastic hangers and hook hangers in either solid oak or satin aluminum. Some racks even come with hangers already.
Show clients, colleagues and employees how considerate your company or institution is by providing a convenient coat rack from Hertz Furniture. Our wide selection of options can accommodate your needs and preferences, whether you are outfitting a full cloak room or you just want a few hooks. Call the Hertz Project Solutions team today to start planning out your ideal hanging space.

"...would you want Dahmer to go to Hell? Or are you quite happy (assuming that you are an atheist) for him simply to be dead."
Since he's censoring many of my responses, here it is:
I'm not Alex, but I'll answer.
I'm satisfied that Dahmer was imprisoned for the remainder of his life and, unlike some of my liberal friends, I'd have been content to see him put to death by the state (a position that Dahmer is reported to have shared), though I generally oppose capital punishment on the grounds that the legal system isn't structured in such a way that we can satisfactorily prevent unjust executions.
I also wouldn't want to see him tortured, and certainly not forever. I don't think that's justice, it's revenge. He was beaten to death by a fellow inmate and some might consider that justice, but that's a very simplified view of justice that I don't share.
Interestingly, Dahmer is reported to have repented and accepted Christ as his savior. I have no idea if this is true, and neither do you, but it does raise two points:
1. If it is true (and if your religion is true) then any decent Christian should oppose the death penalty and, instead, prefer to give convicts as much time to repent and avoid hell as possible.
2. If it is true (and if your religion is true) then Jeffrey Dahmer is in heaven, right now.
Do you think that's just? Clearly not, as you just used him as an example of someone that you feel most people should want to see sent to Hell.
You also mentioned Hitler. Hitler was, according to his public and private statements a devout Catholic and whether or not you accept that, you must accept that you don't know his 'heart' and aren't his judge, and that it's at least possible that he, too, could have been saved - even if only during his dying breath.
Your religious views have nothing to do with justice because they aren't based on punishing the wicked and rewarding the virtuous. There is no system of merit associated with salvation by grace. To you, salvation is a matter of capriciousness. A death-bed conversion is more valuable to your God than a life spent as a good person.
So, your dichotomy is false on several grounds. As an atheist, I don't have to simply be "quite happy" with the death of a murderer - I can be satisfied with a proper implementation of justice that denies the murderer liberty and, on occasion, life. Also, as an atheist, I never have to rationalize blood lust as justice or be dissatisfied that justice might be overturned by the whim of a divine dictator. I can, instead come to a proper understanding of justice that isn't bound by bronze-age myths.

This is SCIENCE FRIDAY, I'm Ira Flatow. He's been called Mayor McSchwinn for riding his bicycle to work. He's pledged to turn his town of Seattle into a model for what one city can do to lower its carbon footprint, and for good reason. As the climate changes, coastal cities like Seattle are challenged by rising sea levels.
Seattle saw its highest tide on record last December. So what's a Seattle mayor to do? Well, we're going to ask him today. We're at the Pacific Science Center in Seattle, and Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn is here. Welcome to SCIENCE FRIDAY.
MAYOR MICHAEL MCGINN: Glad to be here.
FLATOW: Did you ride your bike here?
MCGINN: Yes.
FLATOW: Do you ride it every day?
MCGINN: Pretty much.
FLATOW: Is it symbolic of something?
MCGINN: It's a great way to get around.
FLATOW: Tell us what you think that you can do as a mayor to encourage people to be aware of climate change and to participate in actually doing something about it.
MCGINN: Well, you know, the question you were raising in the intro: What can a city do about climate change, so the changes that are required are at all levels of government? So we have to take a look at the local level, what are the things we control and have the greatest influence over. Land use is one of them, what types of buildings you can build where.
Our local streets, how we design them to support walking, biking and transportation - and buses as opposed to driving is another one. And so those are things we focus on in terms of the policies we set, and they can make a big difference. Incentives for people in their home energy use and green buildings.
And then at the - to try to influence the state and the federal government. We have a major issue here, which is we're a - they're going to be shipping coal through Seattle from the Powder River Basin in Montana, Wyoming, to China. And, you know, that's something I think the state and the national government need to take a look at. That's not very good national energy policy.
FLATOW: Is there any way that you can influence that shipment?
MCGINN: Well, here's what we're doing. And just to state again what the problem is, since we're on national audience, we're somewhat more familiar with it here - there's huge reserves of coal in Montana and Wyoming in the Powder River Basin. And what's been happening is they are selling less coal. You know, the electricity producers are going to other sources. So they need new markets.
So they're looking to China to do it. So they're talking about shipping, you know, 18 trains a day worth of coal from Montana, Wyoming, to western ports to head over to China. And it's - more carbon emissions would result from that coal than the carbon emissions that would result from the fossil fuels that come from the Keystone Pipeline, which is, as you know, a national issue as well.
So I've been working with tribal leaders and other city leaders up and down the train line to talk about the impacts on local communities, which would be substantial. The trains lose about two percent of their load along the way, they're uncovered coal cars; very significant traffic impacts, economic impacts, health impacts, as well, of course, the impacts of the pollution coming back across the Pacific Ocean towards us, the mercury in fish, the global warming pollution.
So we've put together a leadership alliance against coal, and we're going to do our best to convince the decision makers to make a smart decision about that.
FLATOW: Back on the other coast, another mayor you might be familiar with, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, announced a $20 billion plan to fortify the city from sea level rise, and amazing things he's called for, levees and sea walls, a high price tag. Does your city face those kinds of challenges too, of holding back the sea? And are you planning for those?
MCGINN: Yes, and in fact we're replacing our sea wall. We have one on our - on Elliott Bay. It was built about, you know, 50-plus years ago, wasn't built for earthquakes, and one of the things we had to do was look at how tall do we have to build it for the future, because we want it to last 50 to 75 years. And a lot of our industrial areas are built on the tide flats of the Duwamish River. So we're going to have to look at how we protect that as well.
And kind of a lesser known problem, but the storm water outflows - you can build a sea wall, but the water will back up the storm water outflows into the city too. So there's a host of issues in adaptation.
FLATOW: If you're like to ask the mayor a question, we have two microphones open here on both sides of the room, and also you can tweet us @scifri @-S-C-I-F-R-I. The city council has a plan to make the city carbon neutral by 2050. Do you support that plan?
MCGINN: I do. Here's the thing though. Whether you're talking about 80 percent reductions by 2050 or carbon neutrality by 2050, that means you have to do a lot in the near term. And probably the first steps for any target are the same, and they need to be substantial. So very supportive of that, and - but the harder part is not what the end outcome should be but what can we do immediately that sets us on a path towards that outcome.
FLATOW: And for Seattle, what would carbon neutral mean? How do you balance the carbon there?
MCGINN: Well, you really have to look for very deep reductions in building energy use. And we have here a new building called the Bullitt Foundation's Headquarters, the Bullitt Center, which is actually - can live off of the energy that hits its roof from the sun, which is pretty dramatic. So that's - those are the types of deep reductions in building energy use we're talking about.
In terms of getting people around, you really have to start building communities that have all the uses people need that are connected within walking and biking distance or connected with electrified transit, and those are big changes as well. And then of course there's always just a certain amount of fossil fuel use that's very hard to get rid of, so you'd have to find ways to offset the remainder by taking other actions that would - might help pull some carbon out of the atmosphere.
FLATOW: In fact, is it true - is it not true that you've made a push to divest the city's pension funds from fossil fuel investment?
MCGINN: I did. Bill McKibben, whose 350.org came to town, gave a speech here at Benaroya Hall. And he spoke to a bunch of us that afternoon that were on our Green Ribbon Commission, which had come up with the plan to reduce our carbon emissions. And he spoke about why he was pushing for divestment.
And after I heard from him, I called my finance director into my office and asked him some questions about our finances, and we can and did divest ourselves immediately from our cash holdings. Far more complex will be getting out of our pension holdings. And that process is now underway. And I announced that night with Bill McKibben that we would start doing that, the first city in the country to do it.
We've gotten 10 other mayors so far to join us, and we're asking others to join as well. We don't expect that, you know, that that will make the fossil fuel companies stop drilling for, you know, fossil fuels or coal or digging it out of the ground, but it's a statement of our values and what we believe the future requires. Because the fact of the matter is, if you - we can get more and more efficient, and we're working on that in the city.
But if we're going to take massive amounts of coal out of the ground, for example, and ship it to China, that will swamp all of the efficiency savings and all of those land use savings we have. We really have to find a way not just to get more efficient and show a better way to grow economically and build great communities - we have to leave those fossil fuels in the ground.
Otherwise we will so overload the atmosphere with carbon that the consequences will be even more severe.
FLATOW: Let's see if we have a question from the audience there. Yes. Step up, please, step up to the mic.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Speaking of local initiatives, I'd like to give you an opportunity to address the question that stumped Al Gore: paper or plastic?
MCGINN: Oh, you know, bring your own. That's the correct answer.
FLATOW: Bringing your own to the supermarket, yeah?
MCGINN: Yeah.
FLATOW: Recyclable one. OK, let's - yes, ma'am, step up to the mic.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: Hi. We banned plastic bags and we all bring our own now, and doomsday didn't happen. So I'm wondering: Would doomsday happen if we banned bottle water in the city?
MCGINN: You know, great question, and one of these things, as I have my bottle of water in front of me that I have not cracked and am feeling a slight bit of carbon guilt if I did.
I think that we need - we've got, in Seattle, we have incredible water. We have our own valley up in the mountains, the Cedar River Watershed. There's no logging in it. It's one of the cleanest water sources in the nation. And we deliver it to you really cheaply. So I'd encourage people in the city to not drink bottled water.
And the issue of a ban is probably one that maybe there's some city council members who'd like to start working on that one.
FLATOW: Do you find common cause with other mayors? Do you find that mayors are taking the leadership roles here?
MCGINN: Absolutely, and I - you know, I've got to sing the praises of my fellow mayors. You know, mayors are, I've discovered, I've just had this job for three years, and this is my first elected official job, I was an advocate in the community before that. Mayors are very close to the people.
We talked about delivering the water, the electricity. You've got to pave the streets. And we also are very close to the impacts on us of these changes that are coming at us due to climate change. And we have the ability to see a difference in our cities. You know, changing how we get around is great for our city's economic vitality, and people want to come here and be part of a walkable, bikable place with great transit.
People want to open up offices in energy efficient buildings. It's part of our appeal as a city of the future, this 50th anniversary of the World's Fair here. So it's good economically for us...
FLATOW: But there's got to be obstacles that you face.
MCGINN: There are huge obstacles, and the huge obstacles are change is always hard. We've got set patterns of doing things. But what I find is that mayors around the country are consistently leaders in innovative new approaches. The mayor of Indianapolis, a Republican, a war veteran, he wants to get his fleet fossil fuel free in Indianapolis.
So I went to my fleet, and I said, hey, we can't let a Republican beat a Democrat here.
MCGINN: Right? We've got the greenest fleet in the nation. We've been given that award multiple times. So we're not making as bold a claim as he is, but we're going to reduce our fossil fuel, a million gallon challenge about shifting off our fleet. And these - our fleet includes fire trucks, utility trucks, you know, the parking enforcement vehicles, police cars, lots of things.
But we're going to keep driving down our fossil fuel use, and in doing so we drive a market for new types of vehicles and more efficient vehicles, and that's something we can make a difference every day.
FLATOW: Can you bring more electric vehicles into town?
MCGINN: Absolutely. We've got a - if you're in Seattle, you see these three-wheel kind of scooter that our parking enforcement officers use right now. It's gas powered. We're going to switch those to electric powered, and it has a bike rack on the back so now that two people will go out to a neighborhood, one on the electric scooter, and then the other one will get on the bike, and they'll cover twice as much territory.
We have hybrid trucks for our utility trucks as well. So you don't have to leave the diesel engine running while you're using the lift, so all sorts of different things we're doing.
FLATOW: I have about 30 seconds. If you could - if I give you a blank check, what would you do with it? What's the one biggest thing you'd like to change?
MCGINN: Oh man, I think for this city our leading use, our leading fossil fuel emissions come from driving, so investing in walking, biking, transit, getting a really seamless transit network and seamless biking network throughout the city, as well as making the city more walkable, huge benefits to economic vitality, quality of life, health, pollution, that would be it.
FLATOW: Well, you certain are a walking, biking example of that.
FLATOW: Thank you very much, Mayor.
MCGINN: Thank you.
FLATOW: Mayor Mike McGinn, a Democrat, Seattle mayor right here at the Pacific Science Center. Thank you for taking time to be with us today.
MCGINN: Glad to be here.
FLATOW: We're going to take a short break, and when we come back we're going to take a journey to the center of your brain, no walking or biking required. So stay with us. We'll be right back after this break. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
