5 Summary of Linker Options
This section lists all the options supported by the TNS/E linker. For each one the
complete syntax is shown, a brief statement of its function is given, and a hyperlinked
reference is given to the main discussion of it elsewhere in this manual.
-alf <filename>
Rebase and/or rebind an existing loadfile, recreating the file.
See Additional rules about -alf on page 4-3.
-all
Use all members from archives. See Using Archives on page 2-16.
-allow_duplicate_procs
Do not consider it an error if there are multiple definitions of procedures with the
same name. See Accepting Multiply-Defined Symbols on page 3-17.
-allow_missing_libs
Do not consider it an error if a -l option cannot be resolved, except in situations
where -b static is in effect. See How the Linker Finds Its Input Files and
Creates the .liblist Section on page 2-12.
-allow_multiple_mains
Do not consider it an error if more than one procedure has the MAIN attribute.
See Specification of the Main Entry Point on page 4-17.
-ansistreams
At runtime, the program will use the ANSI version of C I/O.
See Creating the MCB on page 4-15.
-b { dllsonly | dynamic | static }
These options specify whether the linker accepts DLLs and/or archives.
See How the Linker Finds Its Input Files and Creates the .liblist Section on
page 2-12.
-b { globalized | localized | semi_globalized | symbolic }
These options affect how references are resolved across loadfiles.
See Overview on page 3-1.
-call_shared
Create a program. See Output Object Files on page 2-4.
