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

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

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