-q options

Passes options to the compiler, where xxx is any compiler option or set of compiler options. Do not insert spaces between -q and xxx. If a parenthesis is part of the compiler option or suboption, or if a series of options is specified, include them in quotation marks.

To specify multiple options, delimit each option by a blank or comma. For example, the following two option strings are equivalent:

-qoptiona,optionb

-q"optiona optionb"

If you plan to use a shell script to automate your cob2 tasks, a special syntax is provided for the -qxxx option. For details, see the related task about compiling using shell scripts.
