NAME

       binfmtf-interpreter - binfmt_misc fortran handler

SYNOPSIS

       binfmtf-interpreter  fortran-source-file-name [command-line opions ...]

DESCRIPTION

       binfmtf95-interpreter compiles a fortran source file specified  on  the
       command-line  using  the  gfortran compiler, and executes the resulting
       file.

       It is designed to be used as a handler for binfmt_misc  handler,  which
       is  a system used in Linux for handling arbitrary files as executables.

       The command-line options are passed on to the compiled binary.

FILE MAGIC

       There is a requirement for Fortran  source  files  to  have  the  magic
       characters ! BINFMTF95: at the beginning of the file.

       That  line  also is used to specify the additional command-line options
       for Fortran compiler.

ENVIRONMENT

       GFORTRAN
              The compiler used.  The default is to use gfortran

       BINFMTCTMPDIR

              Temporary directory used for binary and execution.

              Falls back to $TMPDIR $TEMPDIR or /tmp

       BINFMTC_DEBUG
              enables debug output if set.

       BINFMTC_GFORTRAN_OPTS
              Additional Gfortran options.  Use BINFMTC_DEBUG  to  verify  the
              options being passed on to gfortran.

              The default is  -O2 -Wall
