| 1 | .TH RC 1 |
| 2 | .SH NAME |
| 3 | rc \- Ratfor compiler |
| 4 | .SH SYNOPSIS |
| 5 | .B rc |
| 6 | [ option ] [ file ] ... |
| 7 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
| 8 | .I Rc |
| 9 | invokes the Ratfor preprocessor on a set of Ratfor source files. |
| 10 | It accepts three types of arguments: |
| 11 | .PP |
| 12 | Arguments whose names end with `.r' are taken to be |
| 13 | Ratfor source programs; they are |
| 14 | preprocessed into Fortran and compiled. |
| 15 | Each subroutine or function `name' is placed on a separate file |
| 16 | .I name.f, |
| 17 | and its object code is left on |
| 18 | .IR name.o . |
| 19 | The main routine is on |
| 20 | .I MAIN.f |
| 21 | and |
| 22 | .I MAIN.o; |
| 23 | block data subprograms go on |
| 24 | .I BLOCKDATA?.f |
| 25 | and |
| 26 | .IR BLOCKDATA?.o . |
| 27 | The files resulting from a `.r' file are |
| 28 | loaded into a single object file |
| 29 | .I file.o, |
| 30 | and the intermediate object and Fortran files are removed. |
| 31 | .PP |
| 32 | The following flags are interpreted by |
| 33 | .IR rc . |
| 34 | See |
| 35 | .I ld |
| 36 | and |
| 37 | .IR fc (1) |
| 38 | for other flags. |
| 39 | .TP 6 |
| 40 | .B \-c |
| 41 | Suppresses the loading phase of the compilation, |
| 42 | as does any error in anything. |
| 43 | .TP 6 |
| 44 | .B \-f |
| 45 | Save Fortran intermediate files. |
| 46 | This is primarily for debugging. |
| 47 | .TP 6 |
| 48 | .B \-r |
| 49 | Ratfor only; don't try to compile the Fortran. |
| 50 | This implies |
| 51 | .B \-f |
| 52 | and |
| 53 | .B \-c. |
| 54 | .TP 6 |
| 55 | .B \-v |
| 56 | Don't list intermediate file names while compiling. |
| 57 | .TP 6 |
| 58 | .B \-C |
| 59 | Preserve comments in output, and format esthetically (indentation, mostly). |
| 60 | .TP 6 |
| 61 | .BR \-6 x |
| 62 | Place continuation character |
| 63 | .IT x |
| 64 | in column 6, instead of non-standard convention used |
| 65 | by |
| 66 | .IR fc (1). |
| 67 | .PP |
| 68 | Arguments whose names end with `.f' are taken to be |
| 69 | Fortran source programs; |
| 70 | they are compiled in the normal manner. |
| 71 | (Only one Fortran routine is allowed in a `.f' file.) |
| 72 | .PP |
| 73 | Other arguments |
| 74 | are taken |
| 75 | to be either loader flag arguments, or Fortran-compatible |
| 76 | object programs, typically produced by an earlier |
| 77 | .I rc |
| 78 | run, |
| 79 | or perhaps libraries of Fortran-compatible routines. |
| 80 | These programs, together with the results of any |
| 81 | compilations specified, are loaded |
| 82 | to produce an executable program with name |
| 83 | .BR a.out . |
