Linker Options
7-17 Linker Description
This example links file1.obj and file2.obj and creates a map file called file.map:
lnk500 file1.obj file2.obj –m file.map
Example 7–14 on page 7-73 shows an example of a map file.
7.4.13 Name an Output Module (–o filename Option)
The linker creates an output module when no errors are encountered. If you
do not specify a filename for the output module, the linker gives it the default
name a.out. If you want to write the output module to a different file, use the
–o option. The syntax for the –o option is:
–o filename
The filename is the new output module name.
This example links file1.obj and file2.obj and creates an output module named
run.out:
lnk500 –o run.out file1.obj file2.obj
7.4.14 Specify a Quiet Run (–q Option)
The –q option suppresses the linker’s banner when –q is the first option on the
command line or in a command file. This option is useful for batch operation.
7.4.15 Strip Symbolic Information (–s Option)
The –s option creates a smaller output module by omitting symbol table
information and line number entries. The –s option is useful for production
applications when you must create the smallest possible output module.
This example links file1.obj and file2.obj and creates an output module,
stripped of line numbers and symbol table information, named nosym.out:
lnk500 –o nosym.out –s file1.obj file2.obj
Using the –s option limits later use of a symbolic debugger and may prevent
a file from being relinked.
