# Specifying Object Files

You can use the /Fo option (Windows*) or -c and -o options (Linux* and macOS*) to specify an alternate name for an object file. In this example, the compiler generates an object file name myobj.obj (Windows) or myobj.o (Linux and macOS*).

Examples:

This content is specific to C++; it does not apply to DPC++.

    // Linux and macOS*
    icpx -c -omyobj.o x.cpp

    // Windows
    icx /Fomyobj x.cpp

This content is specific to DPC++.

    // Linux and macOS*
    dpcpp -c -omyobj.o x.cpp

    // Windows
    dpcpp /Fomyobj x.cpp
