mfplx Syntax

The valid format for the mfplx command is:

 mfplx {option | source_file | object_file} ...

where option represents an Open PL/I Compiler option or a system Compiler or linker option.

source_file represents any specified source file. Files with a .pl1 or .pli suffix are passed to mfpli. On UNIX systems, files with an .s suffix are passed to the system assembler. On Windows systems, files with an .asm suffix are passed to the system assembler.

mfplx supports wildcard characters and indirect files (@files).

object_file represents any specified object file (with an .o suffix for UNIX systems or a .obj suffix for Windows systems) or any specified library (with an .a suffix for UNIX systems or an .lib suffix for Windows systems). Files with an .o (or .obj) or an .a (or .lib) suffix are passed to mfpli, as are specified files with unknown or absent suffixes. The command line that mfpli constructs for each of these invocations is limited to 4096 characters. The .o files can be linked (possibly with other object files and/or libraries) using ldpli or mfplx -o.

mfplx processes options in one of the following ways:

Program execution begins at the main entry point.
