mpc(1)

NAME
     mpc - Multiprocessing C source transformer

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/lib/mpc [-ansi] [-cckr] [-dollar] [-K<file> [-xansi] [-64] ...
     file [options] ...

     /usr/lib64/cmplrs/mpc [-ansi] [-cckr] [-dollar] [-K<file> [-xansi]
     [-64] ... file [options] ...

IMPLEMENTATION
     IRIX systems (o32 ABI only)

DESCRIPTION
     mpc is a source-to-source C translator that transforms code that
     contains parallel directives, inserted by pca(1) or by hand, into
     parallel C code containing calls to the C multiprocessing library.
     For more information on the types of directives that mpc implements,
     see the IRIS Power C User's Guide.

     mpc is usually invoked as an option to the cc(1) command, although it
     can be run separately.  When mpc is used as part of a cc compilation,
     the mpc options must be passed via the -W (specifically, -WM)
     mechanism.  See the cc(1) man page for details of -W.

     mpc will accept the name of a single input source file, specified
     anywhere on its command line.  If none is specified, standard input is
     used.  The input should be C code that has already been preprocessed.

     An output filename can be specified by using the -K option, see the
     option description that follows.  If no such option is given, no
     output code will be produced.

COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
     -ansi
          Pure ANSI/ISO C.

     -cckr
          Traditional K&R/Version7 C with SGI (and some ANSI/ISO-C-like)
          extensions, including function prototypes, void, and void*.

     -dollar
          Allows the dollar sign ($) as a character in C identifiers,
          including allowing it as the leading character of an identifier.
          The option is provided solely for compatibility purposes.  The
          dollar sign is not a standard C identifier character and its use
          is not recommended.

     -K<file>
          This option instructs mpc to place the transformed C code into
          the specified file.

     -xansi
          Specifies ANSI/ISO C with SGI extensions and relaxed enforcement
          of certain ANSI guidelines.

     -64  This option informs mpc that the code is being compiled for a
          64-bit machine.  This affects the size of certain C data types.
