file-spec Specifies the character string you want the linker to use as the name of the image file produced by the link operation. If you do not specify a file type in the character string, the linker assigns the .EXE file type by default. If you do not specify a file name with the /EXECUTABLE qualifier, the linker creates an executable image with the file name of the first input file. If you append the /EXECUTABLE qualifier to an input file specification, the linker creates an executable image with the file name of the file to which the qualifier is appended.
