## Arguments

keyword | Specifies the format for the report. You can specify one of the following:

## Description

This option specifies the format for an optimization report. If you use this option, you must specify either text or vs.

If you do not specify this option and another option causes an optimization report to be generated, the default format is text.

If the [q or Q]opt-report-file option is also specified, it will affect where the output goes:

- If filename is specified, output goes to the specified file.

- If stdout is specified, output goes to stdout.

- If stderr is specified, output goes to stderr.

If you use this option, you do not have to specify option [q or Q]opt-report.

When optimization reporting is enabled, the default is -qopt-report-phase=all (Linux* and macOS) or /Qopt-report-phase:all (Windows*).
