NAME

     cc - C compiler



SYNOPSIS

     cc [ -c ] [ -p ] file ...



DESCRIPTION

     Cc is the UNIX  C  compiler.   It  accepts  three  types  of

     arguments:



     Arguments whose names end with `.c'  are  assumed  to  be  C

     source  programs;  they are compiled, and the object program

     is left on the file whose name is that of  the  source  with

     `.o' substituted for `.c'.



     Other arguments (except for -c) are  assumed  to  be  either

     loader  flag  arguments,  or  C-compatible  object programs,

     typically  produced  by  an  earlier  cc  run,  or   perhaps

     libraries   of   C-compatible   routines.   These  programs,

     together with the results of any compilations specified, are

     loaded (in the order given) to produce an executable program

     with name a.out.



     The -c argument suppresses the loading phase,  as  does  any

     syntax error in any of the routines being compiled.



     If the -p flag is used, only the macro prepass is run on all

     files whose name ends in .c.  The expanded source is left on

     the  file  whose  name  is  that  of  the  source  with   .i

     substituted for .c.



FILES

     file.c          input file

     file.o          object file

     a.out           loaded output

     /lib/c[01]      compiler
