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.
