Configuration files

A configuration file is a plain text file that specifies options that are read every time you run the compiler. The name of a configuration file ends with a .cfg file name extension.

After you have a default configuration file (/etc/opt/ibmcmp/vac/7.0/vac.cfg), you can create others. XL C/C++ provides a template, which was used to create /etc/opt/ibmcmp/vac/7.0/vac.cfg. However, any existing configuration file can be used as the template for creating another with the vac_configure utility.

You can instruct the compiler to use a particular configuration file by invoking the compiler with the -F option and specifying the fully qualified file name.
