NAME
     c99 -- ANSI (1999) C compiler

SYNOPSIS
     c99 [-pedantic] [-pedantic-errors] [-D_ANSI_SOURCE] [options ...]

DESCRIPTION
     Calls the C compiler (cc) with the given options, using a C language environment compatible with the ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (``ISO C99'') specifi-
     cation.

     This includes inline functions, variable-length arrays, support for one-line comments beginning with //, disabling non-ANSI compiler features
     (such as asm, typeof, and the $ character in identifiers), and definition of the preprocessor symbol __STRICT_ANSI__.

     The following options are available:

     -pedantic		 Issue extra warnings defined by ANSI for use of non-ANSI features.

     -pedantic-errors	 Issue errors instead of warnings that normally would be presented by -pedantic.

     -D_ANSI_SOURCE	 Tell the system header file set to use an ANSI-conformant "clean" namespace.

SEE ALSO
     cc(1)

STANDARDS
     c99 conforms to IEEE Std 1003.2-1992 (``POSIX.2'').

HISTORY
     c99 first appeared in NetBSD 5.0.

BUGS
     Since c99 is a shell wrapper script to cc, compile errors are prefixed by "cc:".
