NAME

       binfmtc-interpreter - binfmt_misc C handler

SYNOPSIS

       binfmtc-interpreter C-source-file-name [command-line opions ...]

DESCRIPTION

       binfmtc-interpreter  compiles a C source file specified on the command-
       line using C 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 C source files to have the magic  characters
       /*BINFMTC: at the beginning of the file.

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

ENVIRONMENT

       GCC    The compiler used.  The default is to use gcc

       CC     The compiler used, if GCC variable is not set.

       BINFMTCTMPDIR

              Temporary directory used for binary and execution.

              Falls back to $TMPDIR $TEMPDIR or /tmp

       BINFMTC_DEBUG
              enables debug output if set.

       BINFMTC_GCC_OPTS
              Additional GCC options.  Use BINFMTC_DEBUG to verify the options
              being passed on to gcc.

              The default is  -O2 -Wall
