-o
-o
Specifies the name of the output object file.
filename
is the name of the output file, either by name or (in the Guardian environment) by
map DEFINE. This
filename
can be the same as the input filename. If linking is
successful,
nld
deletes the input file and then writes the output file. An error
occurs if you do not have permission to delete the input file.
If
filename
exists and is not in use,
nld
appends the listing to the file.
If filename exists and is in use,
nld
makes up to 10 attempts to change the name
of filename to ZZND
nnnn
. If these 10 attempts fail,
nld
makes up to 10 attempts
to create a new file named ZZND
nnnn
. If these 10 attempts also fail, no file
containing the new information is created and
nld
reports an error.
If you do not specify a
-o
option, the default output filename is
a.out
in the OSS
environment and
AOUT
in the Guardian environment.
The output file first created by
nld
has a temporary
filename
that is later renamed to
either the default filename or the
filename
specified with the
-o
option. An abnormal
termination of
nld
can produce a file with a temporary filename in the OSS
environment. The OSS filename is of the form
ZZNLDnnn
.
-r
Causes
nld
to create a linkfile instead of a loadfile.
nld
creates a loadfile by default.
See
Native Object Files
on page 1-2 for information on the characteristics of linkfiles
and loadfiles.
