Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     This directive only affects .OBJ files.
 
     The name of this file is included on the command line to the linker.
 
     If file-name is omitted, the name of the file created will be
     program-name.DEF. File-name can be specified as *.xxx to set the
     extension but use program-name as the root. For example,
     DEFFILE "*.DFA" will create a file called program-name.DFA.
 
     The file created will contain the following lines:
 
       LIBRARY INITINSTANCE
       PROTMODE
       DATA NONSHARED
       EXPORTS entry-point @integer
 
     where an EXPORTS line exists for each entry point in the program,
     with entry-point being the name of the entry point, and integer
     a unique number starting at 1.
 
     If you also specify the directive NODLL, the line LIBRARY
     INITINSTANCE is replaced by NAME.
