[ \fB\-x\fP arg ... ] +.SH DESCRIPTION +Icont translates and links programs written in the Icon language. +Translation produces \fIucode\fP files, suffixed \fB.u1\fP and \fB.u2\fP, +which are linked to produce executable files. +Icon executables are shell scripts containing binary data; this data is +interpreted by \fBiconx\fP, which must be present at execution time. +.PP +File names ending in \fB.icn\fP are Icon source files; +the \fB.icn\fP suffix may be omitted from command arguments. +An argument of \fB\-\fP reads from standard input. +A name ending in \fB.u\fP, \fB.u1\fP, or \fB.u2\fP selects both files +of a ucode pair. +The specified files are combined to produce a single program, +which is named by removing the suffix from the first input file. +.PP +An argument of \fB\-x\fP may appear \fIafter\fP the file arguments +to execute the linked program. +Any subsequent arguments are passed to the program. +.PP +Ucode files produced by translation are normally deleted after linking. +If the \fB\-c\fP option is given, processing stops after translation +and the ucode files are left behind. +A directory of such files functions as a linkable library. +.SH OPTIONS +The following options are recognized by \fIicont\fP: +.TP 4 +\fB\-c\fP +Stop after producing ucode files. +.TP +\fB\-f s\fP +Enable full string invocation by preserving unreferenced procedures +during linking. +.TP +\fB\-o \fIfile\fP +Write the executable program to the specified file. +.TP +\fB\-s\fP +Suppress informative messages during translation and linking. +.TP +\fB\-t\fP +Activate runtime tracing by +arranging for \fB&trace\fP to have an initial value of \-1 +upon execution. +.TP +\fB\-u\fP +Diagnose undeclared identifiers. +.TP +\fB\-v \fIi\fP +Set verbosity level of informative messages to \fIi\fB. +.TP +\fB\-E\fP +Direct the results of preprocessing to standard output and inhibit +further processing. +.TP +\fB\-N\fP +Don't embed \fBiconx\fP path in executable file. +.TP +\fB\-V\fP +Announce version and configuration information on standard error. +.SH "TRANSLATION ENVIRONMENT" +Two environment variables control file search paths during +translation and linking. +These variables contain blank- or colon-separated lists of directories +to be searched after the current directory +and before the standard library. +.TP 4 +\fBIPATH\fP +Directories to search for for ucode files +specified in \fBlink\fP directives and on the command line. +.TP 4 +\fBLPATH\fP +Directories to search for source files +specified in preprocessor \fB$include\fP directives. +.SH "EXECUTION ENVIRONMENT" +Several environment variables control the execution of an Icon program. +Values in parentheses are the default values. +.TP 4 +\fBBLKSIZE\fP (500000) +The initial size, in bytes, of the allocated block region. +.TP +\fBCOEXPSIZE\fP (2000) +The size, in words, of each co-expression stack. +.TP +\fBICONCORE\fP +If set, a core dump is produced for error termination. +.TP 4 +\fBICONX\fP +The location of \fBiconx\fP, the icon interpreter, +overriding the value built into the executable by \fBicont\fP. +Not required if the configuration is unchanged since build time +or if \fBiconx\fP is in the same directory as the executable. +.TP +\fBMSTKSIZE\fP (10000) +The size, in words, of the main interpreter stack for \fBicont\fP. +.TP +\fBNOERRBUF\fP +By default, \fB&errout\fP is buffered.
