Features

This is a non-exhaustive overview of the functions currently available in Makephile:

$(call makephile_MAKE_with_timeout_hours,target,hours,timeout_target) : Makes the target with a timeout, by providing a timeout target.

$(makephile_target_info) : Prints information about the current target.

For example:

.PHONY: foo
