CHAPTER 6 LINKER OPTIONS
6.2.5 Specification of Outputting Relative Format Load Module
(-r)
The -r option is an option to specify creating a load module of the relative format that
can be reentered. A load module of the relative format has a format that gathers
multiple modules in one file without performing address resolution.
■ Specification of Outputting Relative Format Load Module (-r)
[Format]
-r
[Parameter]
None
[Description]
This option specifies the load module file output in the relative format.
Specify this option when changing the default output (absolute format) of the linker.
If the -r option is specified after -a option, the -a option can be canceled.
A load module of the relative format has a format that gathers multiple object modules in one file
without performing address resolution. A file of this format can be reentered in the linker, reducing the
number of input files to be specified for the following link processing. However, if any change occurs
in a module contained in the load module, it cannot be replaced with a library format file.
If this option is specified, all options related to the absolute format assemble list and object content list
are ignored and their files are not output.
Output files are created with the following names.
• If the -o option is not specified
Name of the input file specified first with the extension changed to ".rel".
• If the -o option is specified
Specified name. If no extension is specified, ".rel" is added to the name.
[Example]
flnk911s a1 a2 a3 -r -o a123.rel
The output object format of the linker is changed to the relative format.
Note:
If the extension of the input file specified first is ".rel", the output file name will be the same. Since
the contents of the input file are not saved in this case, specify the output file name with -o option to
avoid any inconvenience.
