file-spec Specifies the character string you want the linker to use as the name of the symbol table file. If you do not include a file type in the character string, the linker appends the .STB file type to the file name. If you specify the /SYMBOL_TABLE qualifier without the file specification, the linker creates a symbol table file with the file name of the first input file and the default file type .STB. If you append the /SYMBOL_TABLE qualifier to one of the input file specifications, the linker creates a symbol table file with the file name of the file to which the qualifier is appended, with the default file type .STB.
