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out of date.
LINK Command Line
◄Example► ◄Up► ◄Contents► ◄Index► ◄Back►
─────LINK Command Line──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
LINK objfiles [,exefile,mapfile,libraries,deffile] [;]
See: ◄<objfiles> Field►
◄<exefile> Field►
◄<mapfile> Field►
◄<libraries> Field►
◄<deffile> Field►
Fields on the command line are defined by commas. LINK assumes a
default for any blank field except <objfiles>.
■ To leave a field blank, type just the comma that ends the
field, along with the comma that ended the previous field.
■ To select default responses for all remaining fields, enter a
semicolon (;) as the last item on the line.
If you enter a filename without an extension, LINK adds a default
extension for the type of file expected. If you explicitly enter
an extension, it overrides the default. To specify a filename
without an extension, enter a period (.) after the filename.
If you do not fill all fields and do not end the command line
with a semicolon, LINK prompts you for the omitted files.
See: ◄LINK Prompts►
Options can appear anywhere in any field on the command line
before the semicolon (except as noted).
See: ◄LINK Options List►
◄Using LINK Options►
You can specify all responses, or responses for one or more
consecutive fields, in a response file.
See: ◄LINK Response File►
