C99(1) BSD General Commands Manual C99(1)
NAME
c99 — POSIX.1 draft C language compiler
SYNOPSIS
c99 [−c] [−D name[=value]] ... [−E] [−g] [−I directory ...] [−L directory ...] [−o outfile] [−O] [−s] [−U name ...] operand ...
DESCRIPTION
This is the name of the C language compiler as required by the IEEE Std 1003.1 (‘‘POSIX.1’’) 2001 standard.
The c99 compiler accepts the following options:
−c
Suppress the link-edit phase of the compilation, and do not remove any object files that are produced.
−D name[=value]
Define name as if by a C-language #define directive. If no ‘‘=value’’ is given, a value of 1 will be used. Note that in order to request a translation as specified by IEEE Std 1003.1 (‘‘POSIX.1’’) draft you need to define _POSIX_SOURCE either in the source or using this option. The −D option has lower precedence than the −U option. That is, if name is used in both a −U and a −D option, name will be undefined regardless of the order of the options. The −D option may be specified more than once.
−E
Copy C-language source files to the standard output, expanding all preprocessor directives; no compilation will be performed.
−g
Produce symbolic information in the object or executable files.
−I directory
Change the algorithm for searching for headers whose names are not absolute pathnames to look in the directory named by the directory pathname before looking in the usual places. Thus, headers whose names are enclosed in double-quotes ("") will be searched for first in the directory of the file with the #include line, then in directories named in −I options, and last in the usual places. For headers whose names are enclosed in angle brackets (<>), the header will be searched for only in directories named in −I options and then in the usual places. Directories named in −I options shall be searched in the order specified. The −I option may be specified more than once.
−L directory
Change the algorithm of searching for the libraries named in the −l objects to look in the directory named by the directory pathname before looking in the usual places. Directories named in −L options will be searched in the order specified. The −L option may be specified more than once.
−o outfile
Use the pathname outfile, instead of the default a.out, for the executable file produced.
−O
Optimize the compilation.
−s
Produce object and/or executable files from which symbolic and other information not required for proper execution has been removed (stripped).
−U name
Remove any initial definition of name. The −U option may be specified more than once.
An operand is either in the form of a pathname or the form −l library. At least one operand of the pathname form needs to be specified. Supported operands are of the form:
file.c
A C-language source file to be compiled and optionally linked. The operand must be of this form if the −c option is used.
file.a
A library of object files, as produced by ar(1), passed directly to the link editor.
file.o
An object file produced by c99 −c, and passed directly to the link editor.
−l library
Search the library named liblibrary.a. A library will be searched when its name is encountered, so the placement of a −l operand is significant.

STANDARDS
The c99 command is believed to comply with IEEE Std 1003.1 (‘‘POSIX.1’’) 2001.

Opportunity
Personal Opportunity - Free software gives you access to billions of dollars of software at no cost. Use this software for your business, personal use or to develop a profitable skill. Access to source code provides access to a level of capabilities/information that companies protect though copyrights. Open source is a core component of the Internet and it is available to you. Leverage the billions of dollars in resources and capabilities to build a career, establish a business or change the world. The potential is endless for those who understand the opportunity.
Business Opportunity - Goldman Sachs, IBM and countless large corporations are leveraging open source to reduce costs, develop products and increase their bottom lines. Learn what these companies know about open source and how open source can give you the advantage.
Free Software
Free Software provides computer programs and capabilities at no cost but more importantly, it provides the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. The importance of free software is a matter of access, not price. Software at no cost is a benefit but ownership rights to the software and source code is far more significant.
Free Office Software - The Libre Office suite provides top desktop productivity tools for free. This includes, a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation engine, drawing and flowcharting, database and math applications. Libre Office is available for Linux or Windows.
Free Books
The Free Books Library is a collection of thousands of the most popular public domain books in an online readable format. The collection includes great classical literature and more recent works where the U.S. copyright has expired. These books are yours to read and use without restrictions.
Source Code - Want to change a program or know how it works? Open Source provides the source code for its programs so that anyone can use, modify or learn how to write those programs themselves. Visit the GNU source code repositories to download the source.
Education
Study at Harvard, Stanford or MIT - Open edX provides free online courses from Harvard, MIT, Columbia, UC Berkeley and other top Universities. Hundreds of courses for almost all major subjects and course levels. Open edx also offers some paid courses and selected certifications.
Linux Manual Pages - A man or manual page is a form of software documentation found on Linux/Unix operating systems. Topics covered include computer programs (including library and system calls), formal standards and conventions, and even abstract concepts.
