`-W FILE'
`--what-if=FILE'
`--assume-new=FILE'
`--new-file=FILE'
"What if". Each `-W' flag is followed by a file name. The given
files' modification times are recorded by `make' as being the
present time, although the actual modification times remain the
same. You can use the `-W' flag in conjunction with the `-n' flag
to see what would happen if you were to modify specific files.
With the `-n' flag, `make' prints the commands that it would
normally execute but does not execute them.
With the `-t' flag, `make' ignores the commands in the rules and
