NAME
       f77 - Fortran 77 compiler

SYNOPSIS
       f77 [ option ] ... file ...

DESCRIPTION
       F77 is the UNIX Fortran 77 compiler.  It accepts several types of argu‐
       ments:

       Arguments whose names end with ‘.f’ are taken to be Fortran  77  source
       programs;  they  are  compiled,  and each object program is left on the
       file in the current directory whose name is that  of  the  source  with
       ‘.o’ substituted for ’.f’.

       Arguments  whose  names  end  with ‘.F’ are also taken to be Fortran 77
       source programs; these are first processed by the C preprocessor before
       being compiled by f77.

       Arguments  whose  names end with ‘.r’ or ‘.e’ are taken to be Ratfor or
       EFL source programs respectively; these are first  transformed  by  the
       appropriate preprocessor, then compiled by f77.

       Arguments whose names end with ‘.c’ or ‘.s’ are taken to be C or assem‐
       bly source programs and are compiled or  assembled,  producing  a  ‘.o’
       file.

       The following options have the same meaning as in cc(1).  See ld(1) for
       load-time options.

       -c     Suppress loading and produce ‘.o’ files for each source file.

       -g     Produce additional symbol table information for dbx(1) and  pass
              the -lg flag to ld(1) so that on abnormal terminations, the mem‐
              ory image is written to file core.  Incompatible with -O.

       -o output
              Name the final output file output instead of ‘a.out’.

       -p     Prepare object files for profiling, see prof(1).

       -pg    Causes the compiler to produce counting code in  the  manner  of
              -p,  but  invokes a run-time recording mechanism that keeps more
              extensive statistics and produces a gmon.out file at normal ter‐
              mination.  An  execution profile can then be generated by use of
              gprof(1).

       -w     Suppress all warning messages.  If the option  is  ‘-w66’,  only
              Fortran 66 compatibility warnings are suppressed.

       -Dname=def

       -Dname Define the name to the C preprocessor, as if by ‘#define’. If no
              definition is given, the name is defined as  "1".  (‘.F’  suffix
              files only).

       -Idir  ‘#include’  files  whose  names do not begin with ‘/’ are always
              sought first in the directory of  the  file  argument,  then  in
              directories  named in -I options, then in directories on a stan‐
              dard list. (‘.F’ suffix files only).

       -O     Invoke an object-code optimizer.  Incompatible with -g.

       -S     Compile the named programs,  and  leave  the  assembler-language
              output  on  corresponding files suffixed ‘.s’.  (No ‘.o’ is cre‐
              ated.).

       The following options are peculiar to f77.

       -d     Used for debugging the compiler.

       -i2    On machines which support short integers, make the default inte‐
              ger  constants  and variables short.  (-i4 is the standard value
              of this option). All logical quantities will be short.

       -q     Suppress printing of file names and program  unit  names  during
              compilation.

       -m     Apply  the M4 preprocessor to each ‘.r’ file before transforming
              it with the Ratfor or EFL preprocessor.

       -onetrip

       -1     Compile DO loops that are performed at least  once  if  reached.
              (Fortran 77 DO loops are not performed at all if the upper limit
              is smaller than the lower limit.)

       -r8    Treat all floating point  variables,  constants,  functions  and
              intrinsics  as  double  precision  and all complex quantities as
              double complex.

       -u     Make the default type of  a  variable  ‘undefined’  rather  than
              using the default Fortran rules.

       -v     Print  the  version number of the compiler, and the name of each
              pass as it executes.

       -C     Compile code to check that subscripts are within declared  array
              bounds.   For multi-dimensional arrays, only the equivalent lin‐
              ear subscript is checked.

       -F     Apply the C preprocessor to ‘.F’ files, and the EFL,  or  Ratfor
              preprocessors to ‘.e’ and ‘.r’ files, put the result in the file
              with the suffix changed to ‘.f’, but do not compile.

       -Ex    Use the string x as an EFL option in processing ‘.e’ files.

       -Rx    Use the string x as a Ratfor option in processing ‘.r’ files.

       -N[qxscn]nnn
              Make static tables in the compiler  bigger.  The  compiler  will
              complain if it overflows its tables and suggest you apply one or
              more of these flags. These flags have the following meanings:

              q      Maximum number of equivalenced variables. Default is 150.

              x      Maximum  number  of  external  names (common block names,
                     subroutine and function names). Default is 200.

              s      Maximum number of statement numbers. Default is 401.

              c      Maximum depth of nesting for control statements (e.g.  DO
                     loops). Default is 20.

              n      Maximum number of identifiers. Default is 1009.

       -U     Do  not convert upper case letters to lower case. The default is
              to convert Fortran programs to lower case except within  charac‐
              ter string constants.

       Other  arguments  are  taken  to  be either loader option arguments, or
       F77-compatible object programs, typically produced by an  earlier  run,
       or  perhaps  libraries  of  F77-compatible  routines.   These programs,
       together with the results of any compilations specified, are loaded (in
       the order given) to produce an executable program with name ‘a.out’.

       Programs  compiled  with  f77  produce  memory  dumps in file core upon
       abnormal termination if the −−g flag was specified during  loading.   If
       the environment variable f77_dump_flag is set to a value beginning with
       y or n, dumps for abnormal terminations are respectively forced or sup‐
       pressed.

DIAGNOSTICS
       The diagnostics produced by f77 itself are intended to be self-explana‐
       tory.  Occasional messages may be produced by the loader.

BUGS
       Files longer than about 50,000 lines must be split up to be compiled.
