  • Call the first target specified in the Mkfile (usually named "all"):
    mk
  • Call a specific target:
    mk target
  • Call a specific target, executing 4 jobs at a time in parallel:
    NPROC=4 mk target
  • Force mking of a target, even if source files are unchanged:
    mk -wtarget target
  • Assume all targets to be out of date. Thus, update `target` and all of its dependencies:
    mk -a target
  • Keep going as far as possible on error:
    mk -k
