make is bmake, but man make documents pmake. man make starts with:


NAME
     make -- maintain program dependencies

SYNOPSIS
     make [-BeikNnqrstWwX] [-C directory] [-D variable] [-d flags]
          [-f makefile] [-I directory] [-J private] [-j max_jobs]
          [-m directory] [-T file] [-V variable] [variable=value] [target ...]

DESCRIPTION
     make is a program designed to simplify the maintenance of other programs.
     Its input is a list of specifications as to the files upon which programs
     and other files depend.  If no -f makefile makefile option is given, make
     will try to open `makefile' then `Makefile' in order to find the specifi-
     cations.  If the file `.depend' exists, it is read (see mkdep(1)).

     This manual page is intended as a reference document only.  For a more
     thorough description of make and makefiles, please refer to PMake - A
     Tutorial.

But make is clearly bmake:

% make -h
usage: make [-BeikNnqrstWwX] 
            [-C directory] [-D variable] [-d flags] [-f makefile]
            [-I directory] [-J private] [-j max_jobs] [-m directory] [-T file]
            [-V variable] [variable=value] [target ...]
