The name of the Pascal compiler is pc. If you give pc a file name as an argument, and the file name ends with .p or .pas, pc compiles the file and leaves the result in an executable file, called a.out by default.

The syntax of this command is: pc [options] filename

pc Version Number

To identify the version number of pc when you compile your program, call the compiler with the –Voption. This option instructs the compiler to produce output that identifies the versions of all the programs used in compiling, the compiler itself, the code generator, and so on.
