- ALINK
-
- Format: ALINK [FROM <objectfiles>] [WITH <files>] [TO <file>]
- [MAP <file>] [LIBRARY <files>] [VER <file>] [XREF <file>]
- [width <n>]
-
- Template: ALINK "FROM=ROOT,WITH/K,TO/K,LIBRARY=LIB/K,MAP/K,VER/K,XREF/K,
- WIDTH/K"
-
- Purpose: To link Amiga binary object files into loadable files.
-
- Specification:
-
- ALINK is a linkage editor to convert Amiga binary object files to Amiga load
- files.
-
- In the above format, <file> stands for a single file name, while <files>
- means zero or more file names that must be separated by a comma, plus, or
- space. If file names are separated by spaces, the parameter must be
- enclosed in quotes.
-
- [FROM <objectfiles>] Specifies the object files to be used as the primary
- binary input. The contents of these files are
- always copied to the load file to form part of the
- overlay root.
-
- [WITH <files>] Specifies files containing the linker parameters
- (e.g. normal command lines). Usually only one file
- will be used, but, for completeness, a list of files
- can be given. Parameters on the command line will
- override those in WITH files. Lines can be
- continued by putting an asterisk (*) at the end of
- them. WITH files are frequently used when the
- command line gets too long.
-
- [TO <file>] Specifies the destination for the load file. If
- this parameter is not given, the second pass is
- omitted.
-
- [MAP <file>] Writes a map of addresses within hunks to the <file>
- specified.
-
- [XREF <file>] Specifies the destination of the cross reference
- output.
-
- [VER <file>] Specifies the destination of messages from ALINK.
- If a file is not specified, all messages are sent to
- the standard output.
-
- [LIBRARY <files>] Specifies the files to be scanned as the library.
- Only referenced code segments in these files will be
- included.
-
- [WIDTH <n>] Specifies the output width (<n> characters) to be
- used when producing the link map and cross reference
- table.
-
- Example:
-
- 1> ALINK a.obj,b.obj,c.obj LIBRARY amiga.lib MAP demo.map TO demo.ld
-
- Converts and links binary files a, b and c to load file demo.
-
- See Also: ABSLOAD, PRINTA
-
- Bugs: The MAP output only gives the first eight characters of a
- symbol's name.
