In the documentation everywhere you mention
-n, --just-print, --dry-run, --recon
Print the commands that would be executed, but do not execute
them.
You should also say:
Well, that is not exactly the truth, in some cases
a even non-malicious programmer can construct a makefile
that will still execute commands. In fact it is quite
common and intentional... The same goes for -t... See
(info "(make)MAKE Variable") (info "(make)Options/Recursion").
At least add one word that one still can get wet.
Also please document how one can achieve a --guaranteed-real-dry-run.
Furthermore, one notes in the make --dry-run output that there is no
way to distinguish the lines that were really run from those that
weren't. Only when one sees e.g., "/bin/sh: curl-config: command not
found" does one notice something sneaky is happening.
