Visual c ++ Linker Options

Visual c ++ Linker Options

Link is a tool that links common object file formats (coff) object files with libraries to create executable (.exe) files or dynamic link libraries (DLL.

The following table lists the comprehensive list of link.exe options. This section also contains information about the following topics:

• Link options controlled by the compiler

• Link input file

• Link output

• Reserved Words

The linker options specified on the command line are case insensitive:/base and/base have the same meaning.

You can use comment to specify some Linker Options.
