NAME
       binfmtf-interpreter - binfmt_misc fortran handler

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

DESCRIPTION
       binfmtf-interpreter compiles a fortran source file specified on the command-line using the g77 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 c BINFMTF: at the beginning of the file.

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

ENVIRONMENT
       G77    The compiler used.  The default is to use g77

       BINFMTCTMPDIR

	      Temporary directory used for binary and execution.

	      Falls back to $TMPDIR $TEMPDIR or /tmp

       BINFMTC_DEBUG
	      enables debug output if set.

       BINFMTC_G77_OPTS
	      Additional G77 options.  Use BINFMTC_DEBUG to verify the options being passed on to g77.

	      The default is  -O2 -Wall
