NAME
rc - Ratfor compiler
SYNOPSIS
rc [ -c ] [ -r ] [ -f ] [ -v ] file ...
DESCRIPTION
Rc invokes the Ratfor preprocessor on a set of Ratfor source
files. It accepts three types of arguments:
Arguments whose names end with `.r' are taken to be Ratfor
source programs; they are preprocessed into Fortran and com-
piled. Each subroutine or function `name' is placed on a
separate file name.f, and its object code is left on name.o.
The main routine is on MAIN.f and MAIN.o; block data subpro-
grams go on blockdata?.f and blockdata?.o. The files
resulting from a `.r' file are loaded into a single object
file file.o, and the intermediate object and Fortran files
are removed.
The following flags are interpreted by rc. See ld (I) for
load-time flags.
-c Suppresses the loading phase of the compilation, as
does any error in anything.
-f Save Fortran intermediate files. This is primarily
for debugging.
-r Ratfor only; don't try to compile the Fortran. This
implies -f and -c.
-v Don't list intermediate file names while compiling.
Arguments whose names end with `.f' are taken to be Fortran
source programs; they are compiled in the normal manner.
(Only one Fortran routine is allowed in a `.f' file.) Other
arguments are taken to be either loader flag arguments, or
Fortran-compatible object programs, typically produced by an
earlier rc run, or perhaps libraries of Fortran-compatible
routines. These programs, together with the results of any
compilations specified, are loaded to produce an executable
program with name a.out.
