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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     NMAKE dot directives provide ways to control the NMAKE session.
 
     Dot directives let you:
 
        ■ Ignore exit codes            ◄.IGNORE Directive►
 
        ■ Save incomplete targets      ◄.PRECIOUS Directive►
 
        ■ Suppress echo of commands    ◄.SILENT Directive►
 
        ■ Set the extensions list      ◄.SUFFIXES Directive►
 
     Syntax Rules
 
     Dot directives must appear outside a description block and must
     appear at the beginning of a line. The directive name begins with
     a period (.) and is followed by a colon (:). Spaces and tabs can
     precede and follow the colon. Dot directive names are case
     sensitive and must be uppercase.
