   Refresh the wiki, updating any changes pages. This is the default

+* --setup configfile
+
+  In setup mode, ikiwiki reads the config file, which is really a perl

+  The default action when --setup is specified is to automatically generate
+  wrappers for a wiki based on data in a config file, and rebuild the wiki.
+  If you also pass the --refresh option, ikiwiki will instead just refresh
