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out of date.

You can specify a name for the main output file in the <exefile>
field. You can specify a path with the filename. If you do not
specify <exefile>, the default is the base name of the first
object file plus the appropriate extension:
■ .EXE, if no options are specified
■ .COM, when specifying the /TINY option
■ .DLL, when using a .DEF file containing a LIBRARY statement
■ .QLB, when specifying the /Q option
See: ◄/Q Option►

LINK uses the <exefile> base name as the default base name for
■ The map file (.MAP), if created
■ The .DBG file created when both /CO and /TINY are specified
