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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

─────Naming the Object File (/Fo)───────────────────────────────────────────
 
     The /Fo option overrides the default object file name with a new
     name.
 
     Syntax: /Fo objfile
 
     By default, FL gives each object file the same base name as the
     corresponding source file, plus the extension .OBJ. The /Fo option
     gives an object file a different name or creates it in a different
     directory.
 
     The <objfile> argument must appear immediately after the option,
     with no intervening spaces. The <objfile> argument can be a file
     specification, a drive name, or a path specification.
 
     If <objfile> is a file specification, the /Fo option applies only
     to the source file immediately following the option on the command
     line. The object file created by compiling that source file has
     the name given by <objfile>.
 
     If <objfile> is a drive name or path specification, the FL command
     creates object files in the given location for every source file
     following the /Fo option on the command line. The object files
     take their default names (each object file has the base name of
     the corresponding source file).
 
     NOTE: When you give only a path specification, the <objfile>
     argument must end with a backslash ( \ ).
