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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.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:  /F filename
 
     Specifies <filename> as the name of the makefile. Zero or more
     spaces or tabs precede <filename>. If you supply a dash (-)
     instead of a filename, NMAKE gets makefile input from standard
     input. (End keyboard input with either F6 or CTRL+Z.) NMAKE
     accepts more than one makefile; use a separate /F specification
     for each makefile input.
 
     If you omit /F, NMAKE searches the current directory for a file
     called MAKEFILE (with no extension) and uses it as the makefile.
     If MAKEFILE doesn't exist, NMAKE uses inference rules for the
     command-line targets.
