NAME
     mpc - Multiprocessing C Source Transformer

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/lib/mpc [ options ] ... file [ options ] ...
     /usr/lib64/cmplrs/mpc [ options ] ... file [ options ] ...

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

     Mpc is normally invoked as an option to cc(1), 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
     cc(1) for details of -W.

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

     An output filename can be specified using the -K option, described below.
     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
          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.
