User Commands (c) c89(1)
file.ecxx A C++ language source file containing embedded NonStop SQL/MX information to be
preprocessed, compiled, and optionally linked
file.i A preprocessed C source file to be compiled and optionally linked
file.ii A preprocessed C++ source file to be compiled and optionally linked
file.m A module definition file (MDF) containing NonStop SQL/MX information for a
corresponding C source file
file.o An object file passed directly to a linker utility
file.so A dynamic-link library (DLL) containing position-independent code (PIC) for use by
the eld, ld,orrld utility
file.sql A C language source file containing embedded NonStop SQL/MX information to be

significant. See the Standard Libraries subsection for more details.
-WBdllsonly
Specifies that the linker utility uses dynamic linking when searching for dynamic-link
libraries specified in subsequent -l operands; placement of this operand is significant
(refer to the Dynamic and Static Linking subsection for details)
-WBdynamic
Specifies that the linker utility uses dynamic linking when searching for libraries
specified in subsequent -l operands; placement of this operand is significant (refer to
the Dynamic and Static Linking subsection for details)
-WBstatic
Specifies that the linker utility uses static linking when searching for libraries specified
in subsequent -l operands. Placement of this operand is significant. Refer to the
