Library /sys$common/syshlp/helplib.hlb  —  PMDF  CNBUILD  Command Qualifiers

1    /IMAGE_FILE 

       /IMAGE_FILE=file-spec
       /NOIMAGE_FILE

    By default, CNBUILD creates as output the file PMDF_CONFIG_DATA.
    With the /IMAGE_FILE qualifier, an alternate file name may be
    specified.

    When the /NOIMAGE_FILE qualifier is specified, CNBUILD does not
    produce an output file. This qualifier is used in conjunction
    with the /OPTION_FILE qualifier to produce as output an
    option file which specifies table sizes adequate to hold the
    configuration required by the processed input files.

2    /MAXIMUM 

       /MAXIMUM
       /NOMAXIMUM (default)

    The file PMDF_TABLE:MAXIMUM.DAT is read in addition to PMDF_
    OPTION_FILE when /MAXIMUM is specified. This file specifies near
    maximum table sizes but does not change any other option file
    parameter settings. Only use this qualifier if the current table
    sizes are inadequate. The /NOIMAGE and /OPTION_FILE qualifiers
    should always be used in conjunction with this qualifier-it makes
    no sense to output the enormous configuration that is produced by
    /MAXIMUM, but it does make sense to use /MAXIMUM to get past
    size restrictions in order to build a properly sized option
    file so that a properly sized configuration can be built with
    a subsequent CNBUILD invocation.

3    /OPTION_FILE 

       /OPTION_FILE[=file-spec]
       /NOOPTION_FILE (default)

    CNBUILD can optionally produce an option file that contains
    correct table sizes to hold the configuration that was just
    compiled (plus a little room for growth). The /OPTION_FILE
    qualifier causes this file to be output. By default, this file
    is the file pointed to by the PMDF_OPTION_FILE logical, normally
    PMDF_TABLE:OPTION.DAT. The value on the /OPTION_FILE qualifier
    may be used to specify an alternate file name. If the /NOOPTION_
    FILE qualifier is given, then no option file will be output.

    CNBUILD always reads any option file that is already present
    via the PMDF_OPTION_FILE logical name; use of this qualifier
    will not alter this behavior. However, use of the /MAXIMUM
    qualifier causes CNBUILD to read PMDF options from the PMDF_
    TABLE:MAXIMUM.DAT in addition to reading PMDF_OPTION_FILE. This
    file specifies near maximum table sizes. Only use this qualifier
    if the current table sizes are inadequate, and only use it to
    create a new option file. The /NOIMAGE qualifier should always be
    specified when /MAXIMUM is specified since a maximum-size image
    would be truly enormous and extremely wasteful.

4    /SIZES 

       /SIZES
       /NOSIZES (default)

    The /SIZES qualifier instructs PMDF CNBUILD to output information
    on the sizes of the elements of the uncompiled configuration.

5    /STATISTICS 

       /STATISTICS
       /NOSTATISTICS (default)

    The /STATISTICS qualifier instructs CNBUILD to output information
    on how much of the various tables in the compiled configuration
    were actually used to store data. These numbers give a rough
    measurement of the efficiency of the compilation, and may
    indicate whether or not an additional rebuild with the /OPTION_
    FILE qualifier is needed.
