\fIAck\fP accepts the following flags:
.SB machine used
.IP \-m\fImachine\fP
This flag tells \fIack\fP to generate a load file for \fImachine\fP.
\fIMachine\fP can also be used as the program call
name, instead of \fIack\fP.
e.g. \fIack \-m8086 file.p\fP is equivalent to \fI8086
e.g. \fIack \-mi86 file.p\fP is equivalent to \fIi86
file.p\fP.
.SB output files
.IP \-o
The the next argument as the name of the resulting load file,
instead of the default \fIa.out\fP or \fIe.out\fP.
.IP \-O
Use the EM peephole optimizer,
this flag is superfluous when an machine code is generated.
.IP \-LIB
This flag tells the peephole optimizer
.RF em_opt VI
to add information about the visibility of the names used
to each output module.
This is needed by most
assembler/linkers when these modules are to be inserted
in libraries.
.IP \-l\fIname\fP
Tells \fIack\fP to insert a library module at this point.
For example: the library \fImon\fP contains the
routines for systems calls needed by both C and Pascal.
.IP \-r.\fIsuffix\fP
Most frontends and backends use one or
more run-time libraries.
These flags tell \fIack\fP to include the libraries needed when
a file with \fIsuffix\fP would be included in the arguments.
.IP \-L
Disable the generation of code by the front ends to
record line number and source file name at run-time.
.IP \-p
This flag tells both the Pascal and C front ends to include
code enabling the user to do some monitoring/debugging.
Each time a routine is entered the routine \fBprocentry\fP
is called and just before each return \fBprocexit\fP is called.
These routines are supplied with one parameter, a pointer
to a string containing the name of the routine.
Use the next argument as the name of the resulting file.
\fIAck\fP produces \fIa.out\fP or \fIe.out\fP by default.
This flag can always be used when \fIack\fP produces a single output file,
as in
.br
.ti +5
\fBack -c.s main.c -o new.s\fP.
.br
The output is produced on \fInew.s\fP instead of \fImain.s\fP.
.IP \-c\fI.suffix\fP
.IP \-c
\fIAck\fP tries to transform each source into a file with the \fIsuffix\fP.
When no \fIsuffix\fP is specified \fIack\fP stops just
before the phase where it combines all arguments into a load file,
thereby transforming the sources into \fI.k\fP, \fI.s\fP,
\&\fI.o\fP or \fI.m\fP files.
One extra \fIsuffix\fP is recognized here, \fI.i\fP,
this tells \fIack\fP to only preprocess all human readable sources,
producing files with \fIsuffix\fP \fI.i\fP.
.br
Note: \fIack\fP refuses to overwrite argument \fI.e\fP files.
.IP \-t
Preserve all intermediate files.
If two \fB\-t\fP are used,
\fIack\fP also preserves core dumps and output of failed transformations.
.SB messages
.IP \-w
Suppress all warning messages.
.IP \-E
Produce a complete listing of each Pascal source program.
Normally for each error, one message,
including the source line number, is given.
.IP \-e
List only the erroneous lines of each Pascal source program.
.IP \-v
Verbose.
Print information while juggling with files.
.IP \-g
Try to run the resulting load file.
No arguments can be passed this way,
so it is only useful in simple cases.

.IP \-k
Do not stop when an error occurs, but try to transform all
other arguments as far as possible.
.IP \-R\fIprogram=xxx\fP
Replace the \fIprogram\fP by the pathname \fIxxx\fP.
The program names referred to later in this manual are allowed here.
.IP \-R\fIprogram\-xxx\fP
The flag argument \fI\-xxx\fP is given to \fIprogram\fP.
.IP \-E
Produce a complete listing of each Pascal source program.
Normally for each error, one message,
including the source line number, is given.
.IP \-e
List only the erroneous lines of each Pascal source program.
.SB debugging
.IP \-p
This flag tells both the Pascal and C front ends to include
code enabling the user to do some monitoring/debugging.
Each time a routine is entered the routine \fBprocentry\fP
is called and just before each return \fBprocexit\fP is called.
These routines are supplied with one parameter, a pointer
to a string containing the name of the routine.
.SB optimizing
.IP \-O
Use as many optimizers as possible.
\fIAck\fP can almost always use the EM peephole optimizer.
Sometimes the global optimizer or machine-dependent
optimizers can be used.
.IP \-L
Disable the generation of code by the front ends to
record line number and source file name at run-time.
.SB libraries
.IP \-l\fIname\fP
Tells \fIack\fP to insert a library module at this point.
For example: the library \fImon\fP contains the
routines for systems calls needed by both C and Pascal.
.IP \-.\fIsuffix\fP
When linking multiple \fI.o\fP or \fI.m\fP files created by
separate calls of \fIack\fP together, \fIack\fP cannot deduce
the run-time system needed,
unless called as \fIapc\fP or \fIacc\fP.
This flag serves to tell \fIack\fP which runtime system is
needed in such a case.
For example: "ack \-c x.c ; ack \-.c x.o".
.IP \-r.\fIsuffix\fP
Most frontends and backends use one or
more run-time libraries.
These flags tell \fIack\fP to include the libraries needed when
