LEARN ABOUT SUNOS

cc

cc(1B)						     SunOS/BSD Compatibility Package Commands						    cc(1B)

NAME

       cc - C compiler

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/ucb/cc [options]

DESCRIPTION

       /usr/ucb/cc  is the interface to the BSD Compatibility Package C compiler. It is a script that looks for the link /usr/ccs/bin/ucbcc to the
       C compiler. The /usr/ccs/bin/ucbcc link is available only with the SPROcc package, whose default location is /opt/SUNWspro. The /usr/ucb/cc
       interface  is  identical  to  /usr/ccs/bin/ucbcc, except that BSD headers are used and BSD  libraries are linked before base libraries. The
       /opt/SUNWspro/man/man1/acc.1 man page is available only with the SPROcc package.

OPTIONS

       The /usr/ucb/cc interface accepts the same options as /usr/ccs/bin/ucbcc, with the following exceptions:

       -Idir	       Search dir for included files whose names do not begin with a slash (/) prior  to  searching  the  usual  directories.  The
		       directories for multiple -I options are searched in the order specified. The preprocessor first searches for #include files
		       in the directory containing sourcefile, and then in directories named with -I options (if any), then  /usr/ucbinclude,  and
		       finally, in /usr/include.

       -Ldir	       Add  dir  to the list of directories searched for libraries by /usr/ccs/bin/ucbcc. This option is passed to /usr/ccs/bin/ld
		       and /usr/lib. Directories specified with this option are searched before /usr/ucblib and /usr/lib.

       -Y P, dir       Change the default directory used for finding libraries.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	       Successful compilation or link edit.

       >0	       An error occurred.

FILES

       /usr/ccs/bin/ld	       link editor

       /usr/lib/libc	       C library

       /usr/ucbinclude	       BSD Compatibility directory for header files

       /usr/ucblib	       BSD Compatibility directory for libraries

       /usr/ucblib/libucb      BSD Compatibility C library

       /usr/lib/libsocket      library containing socket routines

       /usr/lib/libnsl	       library containing network functions

       /usr/lib/libelf	       library containing routines to process ELF object files

       /usr/lib/libaio	       library containing asynchronous I/O routines

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |Availability		     |SUNWscpu			   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

SEE ALSO

NOTES

       The -Y P, dir option may have unexpected results and should not be used.
