12 LINK EDITOR/XL
Use LINK EDITOR/XL to prepare native mode (NM) compiled object modules. The LINK EDITOR process
resolves all external references which cannot be resolved at run-time. A compiled object module (program file)
which has not been link edited will not run.
You may also use LINK EDITOR/XL to create and maintain relocatable and executable libraries.
To prepare and manipulate edit compatibility mode (CM) program files and libraries use the SEGMENTER
utility.
Operation
To invoke LINK EDITOR/XL for interactive use enter:
LINKEDIT
LINK EDITOR/XL displays the LinkEd prompt, where you may enter any LINK EDITOR/XL command.
You may also invoke LINK EDITOR/XL with an info string that contains a LINK EDITOR/XL command as
follows:
RUN LINKEDIT.PUB.SYS;INFO=info-string
For example, to link the object modules from the compiled object file LINEDRAW and place the executable
module into a file name GRAF, enter the following:
RUN LINKEDIT.PUB.SYS;INFO="LINK LINEDRAW,GRAF"
