LINK
When you have entered the complete LINK command, LINK prompts you for the
name of the section whose starting address you need to modify.
• If you do not also use the /IDSPACE option, the prompt is:
Boundary section?
• If you use the /IDSPACE option, the prompt is either one or both of the
following, depending on whether one or both types of /BOUNDARY are
specified. If both types are specified, the prompts are issued in the following
order:
Instruction boundary section?
Data boundary section?
Respond with the appropriate value and/or program section name(s), and
terminate your response with
RETURN
. The sections specified in answer to these
prompts are verified to be I-space or D-space sections, as appropriate. If not, an
error message is displayed.
If you do not want to specify a value, respond with only the appropriate program
section name. If you want to specify a value, respond in the following format:
value[:type]
where:
value specifies the address boundary you assign that PSECT.
type specifies the abbreviation for the PSECT name, the name of
the section whose starting address you need to modify. DAS
is for the data section and INS is for the instruction section.
Not specifying the value parameter causes LINK to prompt for up to eight
separate PSECT boundary addresses. You terminate the prompt sequence by
pressing
RET
with no specified value.
If you do not specify a value, any value that was entered at the
/BOUNDARY:value option is used, and prompting stops. If a value is not specified
at the command line or the prompt, the default value 1000
8
is used as the
boundary address.
/DEBUG[:filespec]
Links a debugger (ODT, VDT, or user supplied) with your program to help you
debug it. See the ODT (on-line debugging technique) or the VDT chapter in the
RT–11 System Utilities Manual. If you supply the name of another debugging
program, LINK links the debugger you specify with your program. LINK links
the debugger low in memory relative to your program.
/DUPLICATE
Places duplicate copies of a library module in each overlay segment that
references the module. This option is useful in reducing the size of the root
segment of your program.
