12.6.2 Behavior of the LINK Environment Variable

You can specify options on the LINK command line or in a response file in addition to those in the LINK environment variable. If an option appears both in an input field and in the LINK variable, the input-field option overrides any environment-variable option it conflicts with. For example, the command-line option /SEG:512 overrides the environment-variable option /SEG:256.
