The following table describes utility rules that can be used in Jamfiles. Detailed information for any of these rules can be obtained by running:

Table 4.2. 

Rule Semantics
project Define this project's symbolic ID or attributes.
??? Make another project known so that it can be referred to by symbolic ID.
??? Cause another project to be built when this one is built.
??? State that a target should be built only by explicit request.
glob Translate a list of shell-style wildcards into a corresponding list of files.
constant Injects a variable setting into this project's Jamfile module and those of all its subprojects.
path-constant Injects a variable set to a path value into this project's Jamfile module and those of all its subprojects. If the value is a relative path it will be adjusted for each subproject so that it refers to the same directory.
