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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     Syntax:  /M[AP][:maptype]
 
     The /MAP option controls the information put into the map file.
 
     The /MAP option forces LINK to create a map file even if you did
     not explicitly tell LINK to do so. LINK creates a map file when a
     filename is specified in the <mapfile> field or when the default
     map-file name is accepted. (The /LINE option also forces creation
     of a map file.) By default, the map file is given the same base
     name as the executable file with the extension .MAP. You can
     override the default name by specifying a filename in the
     <mapfile> field or in response to the List File prompt.
     See: ◄<mapfile> Field►
 
     A map file by default contains only a list of segments. A map file
     created with /MAP contains public symbols sorted by name and by
     address, in addition to the segments list. Symbols in C++ appear
     in the form of decorated names. To add or omit information,
     specify /MAP followed by a colon (:) and a <maptype> qualifier:
 
     <maptype>    Action
 
     ADDRESS      Omits the list of public symbols sorted by name
 
     FULL         Adds each object file's contribution to a segment;
                  adds undecorated names following the decorated names
                  for C++ symbols in listings by name and by address
 
     To add line numbers to the map file, use the /LINE option.
     See: ◄/LINE Option►
 
     Under some circumstances, adding symbols slows the linking
     process. If this is a problem, do not use /MAP.
