XL Fortran Enterprise Edition for AIX : User's Guide - IBM

Fortran-Related AIX Commands
You can use some AIX commands with XL Fortran files to perform several tasks, as
outlined in this section.
Related Information: See the AIX Commands Reference for full details on these
commands.
Working with Object-Code Archives (ar)
The ar command performs operations on libraries of object files that are used
during linking. You might use this command to create a library of support routines
that can be linked into many different programs, as follows:
ar -q ~/mylibs/graphics.a raytrace.o shade.o illuminate.o
xlf95 spheres.f -L~/mylibs/ -lgraphics
Printing Output Files with Fortran ASA Carriage Controls (asa)
The asa command translates the output of Fortran programs that use the historical
Fortran convention for ASA carriage-control characters.
The translated output is suitable for the qprt command:
generate_output | asa | qprt
The fpr command is the same as the asa command.
For a list of supported carriage-control characters, see Formatted Records in the XL
Fortran Enterprise Edition for AIX Language Reference.
Splitting Subprograms into Individual Files (fsplit)
The fsplit command splits the specified Fortran source program files into several
files. You should only use fsplit with FORTRAN 77 programs.
$ cat fsplit.f
subroutine sub1
print *,’Hello world’
end
subroutine sub2
print *,’Goodbye’
end
program main
call sub1
call sub2
end
$ fsplit fsplit.f
sub1.f
sub2.f
main.f
