Option-Passing on the Command-Line
To pass an option on the command-line, use a dash ( - ) followed by the option
name. In some cases, you must supply additional information, such as a file
name. For example, this command activates the listing option
-l , which is off
by default:
hostname% pc -l rmc.p
The following command causes the generated object file to be named rmc
instead of the default, a.out .
hostname% pc -o rmc rmc.p
Option-Passing in the Program Text
Some options can be passed to the compiler in program text as well as on the
command-line. With this facility, you can use different option values for
different parts of a program.
Here are four examples of how options can be passed in program text:
{$P+}
{$H*}
(*$I-*)
{$l+,L-,n+}
Table 3-2 shows the options that can be passed in program text.

Option Description
b Uses buffering of the file output.
C Uses runtime checks (same as t ).
calign Uses C data formats.
H Uses check heap pointers.
l Makes a listing.
L Maps identifiers and keywords to lowercase.
p Uses statement limit counting (different from command-line p

). See
