The answer is "it's probably not useful".
Make uses implied rules for suffix transformations, so for example there is an
implied target for foo.o which depends on foo.c, which looks something like:
.c.o:
${CC} ${CFLAGS} -c ${.IMPSRC}
These rules represent a few hundred lines worth of build rules which could be
applied to any file as needed in order to build things without having these
rules actually specified in the Makefile itself.
Specifically I am looking for a quick way to see the make targets as
'make' would accept them while hunting for 'uninstall' and other
surprises. I see that it gets complicated as i.e. "_legacy" is a
legitimate target along with "buildworld." More to investigate!
"make -n -d g1 | less"...? Take a look at the main target and at the "parents"
target at the top.

List all make targets?
Hello all, I am sure I saw this somewhere and even added it to my notes but neither I nor Google can find it for the life of us... or I dreamt it... Is there a 'make' flag to list all make targets for any given directory containing Makefile* ? Appreciated! On the same topic, can anyone recommend an IDE or utility that can help me navigate the make hierarchy used by 'build/installworld' and 'release?' It's a brilliant mechanism but I get lost chasing variables that may span /usr/src/Makefile.inc1 and /usr/share/mk/ and... Thanks!
