Summary of Linker Options

5-4
-include_whole
synonym for -all.
-instance_data { data1 | data2 | data2protected | data2hidden |
data1constant }
This tells the linker whether to create one or two data segments, and whether to
require that the loadfile have no data that would need to go into the data variable
segment if two segments were created. See Creating Segments of the Output
Loadfile on page 2-6.
-l <filename>
Use the specified filename to locate a DLL or archive. The “-l” must be specified
in lower case. See How the Linker Finds Its Input Files and Creates the .liblist
Section on page 2-12.
-L <location>
The specified directory or subvolume is one of the places where the linker will look
for DLLs and archives, after it looks for public DLLs. The “-L” must be specified in
upper case. See The Steps in Looking for Archives and DLLs on page 2-17.
-lib
synonym for -l. This usage may be preferred because it is not case sensitive and
therefore cannot be confused with -L.
-libname
synonym for -set libname.
-libvol
synonym for -L.
-limit_runtime_paths
If this is specified then rld will not permit the user to override the places specified
at link time for where DLLs may be found.
See Specifying Runtime Search Path Information for DLLs on page 4-18.
-local_libname <filename>
Use the specified filename as the name of the user library that can be used to
resolve references in this program at link time.
See Using User Libraries on page 3-10.
-m
synonym for -map.
