NAME

       binfmtf-interpreter - binfmt_misc fortran handler

SYNOPSIS

       binfmtf-interpreter fortran-source-file-name [command-line opions ...]

DESCRIPTION

       binfmtf95-interpreter  compiles a fortran source file specified on the command-line using the gfortran 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  executa-
       bles.

       The command-line options are passed on to the compiled binary.

FILE MAGIC

       There is a requirement for Fortran source files to have the magic characters ! BINFMTF95: at the beginning of the file.

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

ENVIRONMENT

	      The compiler used.  The default is to use gfortran

       BINFMTCTMPDIR

	      Temporary directory used for binary and execution.

	      Falls back to $TMPDIR $TEMPDIR or /tmp

       BINFMTC_DEBUG
	      enables debug output if set.

       BINFMTC_GFORTRAN_OPTS
	      Additional Gfortran options.  Use BINFMTC_DEBUG to verify the options being passed on to gfortran.

	      The default is  -O2 -Wall
