Chapter 6 Using Linker
88 Command Options
6.3 Command Options
This section describes the options used by the linker. The linker has many options for controlling
output file specifications and the information written to files. The linker reads multiple relocatable
object files, links them into one, and creates an executable format file.
If optimization was selected at the assembly stage, the linker will output the optimal machine language
code for conditional and unconditional branch instructions, regardless of the mnemonics defined in the
source file.
In addition, the linker resolves the values of forward-referenced symbols and undefined operands.
