Example 2 hello.f90
PROGRAM main
CALL hello()
END PROGRAM main
SUBROUTINE hello()
PRINT *, 'Hello, I must be going.'
END SUBROUTINE hello
When compiled with the command line:
$ f90 hello.f90
f90 produces two files, hello.o (object code) and a.out(the executable program).
If the command line contains only an object file, as in the following:
$ f90 hello.o
f90passes the object file to the linker, which (if successful produces the executable program a.out.
Here is a sample run of the executable program:
$ a.out
Hello, I must be going.
This section provides more detailed information about using the f90 command, including:
• Command-line syntax
• Command-line options
• Filenames recognized by f90
f90 command syntax
The syntax for using the f90command is:
f90 [options][files]
where options is a list of one or more command-line options andfilesis a list of one or more files
containing HP Fortran source code to be compiled or object code to be linked. Items in options
and files can be interspersed on the command line, separated by spaces. However, some options
are order-sensitive. For example, the -l option, which is used to specify a library for linking, must
follow the program file to which it will be linked.
For information about using the-l option, see “Linking to nondefault libraries” (page 52). For more
information about the f90command line, see HP Fortran Programmer’s Reference.
Command-line options
Command-line options enable you to override the default behavior of the f90command. Some
options affect how files are compiled or linked; for example, the -Ooption requests optimization.
Other options may cause the f90 command to skip a process entirely; for example, the -coption
compiles without linking. And still others invoke processes other than the default ones; for example,
the +cpp=yes option causes the f90 command to send source files to the C preprocessor (cpp)
before compiling. (For information about using cpp, see “Using the C preprocessor” (page 60).)

Many options are of the form +[no]option, where +option enables the option’s functionality
and +nooption disables it. Other options have more than just an on or off state; these are of the
