-qsuffix

@PROCESS

None.

Purpose

Specifies the source-file suffix on the command line.

This option saves time for the user by permitting files to be used as named with minimal makefile modifications. Only one setting is supported at any one time for any particular file type.

Syntax


>>- -q--suffix--=--+-f--=--source-file-suffix----------------+-><
                   +-o--=--object-file-suffix----------------+   
                   +-s--=--assembler-source-file-suffix------+   
                   '-cpp--=--preprocessor-source-file-suffix-'

Defaults

Not applicable.

Parameters

f=suffix: Where suffix represents the new source-file-suffix
o=suffix: Where suffix represents the new object-file-suffix
s=suffix: Where suffix represents the new assembler-source-file-suffix
cpp=suffix: Where suffix represents the new preprocessor-source-file-suffix

Rules

The new suffix setting is case-sensitive.
The new suffix can be of any length.

Examples

For instance,

     xlf a1.f2k a2.F2K -qsuffix=f=f2k:cpp=F2K

will cause these effects:

The compiler is invoked for source files with a suffix of .f2k and .F2K.
cpp is invoked for files with a suffix of .F2K.
