C1.63 --info_lib_prefix=opt
Specifies a filter for the --info=libraries option. The linker only displays the libraries that have the same prefix as the filter.
Syntax
--info=libraries --info_lib_prefix=opt
Where opt
Examples
Displaying a list of libraries without the filter:
armlink --info=libraries test.oProduces a list of libraries, for example:
install_directory\lib\armlib\c_4.linstall_directory\lib\armlib\fz_4s.linstall_directory\lib\armlib\h_4.linstall_directory\lib\armlib\m_4s.linstall_directory\lib\armlib\vfpsupport.lDisplaying a list of libraries with the filter:
armlink --info=libraries --info_lib_prefix=c test.oProduces a list of libraries with the specified prefix, for example:
install_directory\lib\armlib\c_4.l
