Switch Meaning
–r filename
Reads a database file (such as a .rtw file). Repeat this
option multiple times to load multiple database files into
the Target Language Compiler. Omit this option for
target language programs that do not depend on the
database.
–v[number]
Sets the internal verbose level to <number>. Omitting
this option sets the verbose level to
1.
–Ipath
Adds the specified directory to the list of paths to be
searched for
.tlc files.
–Opath
Specifies any and all output produced should be placed in
the designated directory, including files opened with
%openfile and %closefile, and .log files created in
debug mode. To place files in the current directory, use
–O. (dash Capital O period)
–m[number]
Specifies the maximum number of errors to report is
<number>. If no –m argument appears on the command
line, it defaults to reporting the first five errors. If the
<number> argument is omitted on this option, 1 is
assumed.
