HP Link Editor/XL Commands
HP Link Editor/XL commands that create and display executable program
files and display symbols in a relocatable object file are:
* LINK, which creates an executable program file.
* LISTOBJ, which displays symbols in a relocatable object file.
* LISTPROG, which displays symbols in an executable program file.
Other HP Link Editor/XL commands manage relocatable and executable
libraries. They allow you to add relocatable object modules to an RL or
XL, purge modules from an RL or XL, copy modules between two RLs or two
XLs. Some frequently used HP Link Editor/XL commands are:
* COPYRL, which copies modules from one relocatable library to
another.
* EXTRACTRL, which extracts a relocatable object module or a group
of object modules from a relocatable library.
* SHOWRL and SHOWXL, which display the name of the current (or
working) library.
* LISTPROG, which displays a symbol listing on LINKLIST.
For detailed information, refer to Link Editor/XL Reference Manual
(32650-90030).
Case Sensitivity
HP Link Editor/XL reads commands from the standard input file $STDINX. It
is not case sensitive in commands or file names. However, entry point
(procedure) names are case sensitive. For example, the COPY, EXTRACT,
and PURGE commands allow you to specify an ENTRY name, which is case
sensitive. This name must correspond, character for character, to the
entry name in the symbol table, which indicates the name used in the
relocatable object module. Usually, a case-insensitive language compiler
converts a procedure name to lowercase. For relocatable object modules
compiled in these languages, specify lowercase entry point names.
Keyword and Positional Parameters
Most HP Link Editor/XL commands have one or more keyword or positional
parameters. These types of parameters are briefly discussed in Chapter
1, "Overview." For a complete discussion of keyword and positional
parameters in HP Link Editor/XL commands, refer to Link Editor/XL
Reference Manual (32650-90030).
NOTE When specifying positional parameters, use only one file name
rather than a file name list, even if the command syntax permits a
list. (For example, the ADDRL command syntax allows a file name
list in the FROM= parameter.) To obtain a file name list, you must
either specify keyword parameters or use an indirect file.
