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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.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 Rules
 
        ■ Options always begin with a forward slash (/). A dash (-) is
          not a valid option specifier for LINK.
 
        ■ Options are not case sensitive except for the /r option.
 
        ■ You can specify an option with its full name or an
          abbreviation, up to the shortest sequence of characters that
          uniquely identifies the option (except for /DOSSEG). The
          description for each option shows the minimum legal
          abbreviation with the optional part enclosed in brackets. No
          gaps or transpositions of letters are allowed. This help file
          uses meaningful yet legal forms of the option names.
 
        ■ If an option is followed by an argument, no spaces can appear
          before or after the colon (:). Numeric arguments can be
          specified in decimal format or C-language notation.
          See: ◄Entering Numeric Arguments►
 
     Usage
 
     Options can appear on the command line, in response to a prompt,
     or in a response file. They can also be specified in the LINK
     environment variable. Options can appear in any field before the
     last input, except as noted in the descriptions.
     See: ◄LINK Environment Variable►
 
     If an option appears more than once, the effect is the same as if
     the option was given only once. If two options conflict, the most
     recently specified option takes effect. A command-line option or
     one given in response to a prompt overrides one specified in the
     LINK environment variable.
