See the man page for cpp (1) for information on its directives and other
features. Appendix A, “Pascal Preprocessor,” describes cppas .
File Name Extensions Accepted By pc
Pascal source files generally use the extension .p . The compiler recognizes
other file name extensions. Table 3-1 lists the most important extensions.
The table notes that pc can produce assembler source files as well as unlinked
object files. In each case, you can pass these partially compiled files to pc ,
which then finishes the compilation, linking, and loading.
program showinclude;
#include "file.i"
begin
...
end.
Table 3-1 File Name Suffixes Recognized by Pascal
Suffix Description
.p Usual extension for Pascal source files.
.pas Valid extension for a Pascal source file. The extension instructs pc
to put object files in the current directory. The default name of the
object file is the name of the source file, but with a
.o suffix.
.pi Default extension for Pascal source files that have been processed by
the Pascal preprocessor (either
cpp or cppas ).
.s Extension for assembler source files that are produced when you call
pc with the -S option.
.o Extension for object files that are generated by the compiler when
you call
pc with the -c option.
