33.Nd POSIX.2 C language compiler
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.Nm
36.Op Fl cEgOs
37.Oo Fl D Ar name Ns Oo = Ns Ar value Oc Oc ...
38.Oo Fl I Ar directory Oc ...
39.Oo Fl L Ar directory Oc ...
40.Op Fl o Ar outfile

42.Ar operand ...
43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44This is the name of the C language compiler as required by the
45.St -p1003.2
46standard.
47.Pp
48The
49.Nm
50compiler accepts the following options:
51.Bl -tag -width indent
52.It Fl c
53Suppress the link-edit phase of the compilation, and do not remove any
54object files that are produced.
55.It Fl D Ar name Ns Op = Ns Ar value
56Define name as if by a C-language
57.Ic #define
58directive.
59If
60no
61.Dq = Ns Ar value
62is given, a value of 1 will be used.
63Note that in order to request a
64translation as specified by
65.St -p1003.2
66you need to define
67.Dv _POSIX_SOURCE
68either in the source or using this option.
69The
70.Fl D
71option has lower precedence than the
72.Fl U
73option.
74That is, if
75.Ar name
76is used in both a
77.Fl U
78and a
79.Fl D
80option,
81.Ar name
82will be undefined regardless of the order of the options.
83The
84.Fl D
85option may be specified more than once.
86.It Fl E
87Copy C-language source files to the standard output, expanding all
88preprocessor directives; no compilation will be performed.
89.It Fl g
90Produce symbolic information in the object or executable files.
91.It Fl I Ar directory
92Change the algorithm for searching for headers whose names are not
93absolute pathnames to look in the directory named by the
94.Ar directory
95pathname before looking in the usual places.
96Thus, headers whose
97names are enclosed in double-quotes ("") will be searched for first
98in the directory of the file with the
99.Ic #include
100line, then in
101directories named in
102.Fl I
103options, and last in the usual places.
104For
105headers whose names are enclosed in angle brackets (<>), the header
106will be searched for only in directories named in
107.Fl I
108options and then in the usual places.
109Directories named in
110.Fl I
111options shall be searched in the order specified.
112The
113.Fl I
114option may be specified more than once.
115.It Fl L Ar directory
116Change the algorithm of searching for the libraries named in the
117.Fl l
118objects to look in the directory named by the
119.Ar directory
120pathname before looking in the usual places.
121Directories named in
122.Fl L
123options will be searched in the order specified.
124The
125.Fl L
126option may be specified more than once.
127.It Fl o Ar outfile
128Use the pathname
129.Ar outfile ,
130instead of the default
131.Pa a.out ,
132for the executable file produced.
133.It Fl O
134Optimize the compilation.
135.It Fl s
136Produce object and/or executable files from which symbolic and other
137information not required for proper execution has been removed
138(stripped).
139.It Fl U Ar name
140Remove any initial definition of
141.Ar name .
142The
143.Fl U
144option may be specified more than once.
145.El
146.Pp
147An operand is either in the form of a pathname or the form
148.Fl l
149library.
150At least one operand of the pathname form needs to be
151specified.
152Supported operands are of the form:
153.Bl -tag -offset indent -width "-l library"
154.It Ar file Ns Pa .c
155A C-language source file to be compiled and optionally linked.
156The
157operand must be of this form if the
158.Fl c
159option is used.
160.It Ar file Ns Pa .a
161A library of object files, as produced by
162.Xr ar 1 ,
163passed directly to the link editor.
164.It Ar file Ns Pa .o
165An object file produced by
166.Nm Fl c ,
167and passed directly to the link editor.
168.It Fl l Ar library
169Search the library named
170.Pa lib Ns Ar library Ns Pa .a .
171A library will be searched when its name is encountered, so the
172placement of a
173.Fl l
174operand is significant.

180The
181.Nm
182command is believed to comply with
183.St -p1003.2 .
