NAME
fc - frontend script to the f2c fortran compiler
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/fc [-o objfile] [-c] [-S] [-C] [-u] [-w] [-w66] [-D switch]
[-I includepath] [-Ntnnn] [-P] files [-l library]
DESCRIPTION
fc is a script intended to be used as a front end to the f2c FORTRAN-
to-C translator. It is supposed to make the whole f2c and C compiler
setup look like a real Fortran compiler.
File arguments with a .f suffix are compiled as Fortran source. Files
with a .F suffix are passed through the C preprocessor cpp(1) first.
Files with .c (C source) or .s (assembly source) suffixes are passed to
the C compiler directly. Files with a .e suffix are treated as efl
source files, and files with a .r suffix are treated as RATFOR source
files.
OPTIONS
-o objfile
Produce an output executable named objfile rather than using
the default name a.out.
-c Do not call the linker; instead, leave relocatable object files
as *.o.
-S Produce assembly output as file.s
-C Compile in extra code to check that array subscripts are in
bounds.
-l library
Libraries specified with this option are passed to the linker.
-U def Definitions specified with this option are passed to C compiler
(for .c files) or to cpp (for .F files) to remove definition.
-u Complain about undeclared variables.
-v, --version
Print version of f2c in use
-w Omit all warning messages.
-w66 Omit Fortran 66 (Fortran IV) compatibility warning messages.
-D switch
The given switch is passed to the C compiler (for .c files), to
cpp (for .F files) and to f2c.
-I includepath
Passed to the C compiler (for .c files), to cpp (for .F files)
and to f2c.
-Ntnnn Allow nnn entries in table t.
-P Emit .P files.
BUGS
fc isn’t really very good -- try fort77 (1), which does a better job.
This manual page isn’t really very good either...
