HomeOverviewHow Do ILinker Options

The Output File Name (/OUT:filename) option overrides the default name and location of the program that the linker creates. (To find this option in the development environment, click Settings on the Project menu. Then click the Link tab, and click Customize in the Category box.)

By default, the linker forms the file name using the base name of the first .OBJ file specified and the appropriate extension (.EXE or .DLL).

The Output File Name option controls the default base name for a .MAP file or import library. For details, see Generate Mapfile (/MAP) and /IMPLIB.
