Arguments

string

Is the text string to go into the object file.

Default

/nobintext

No text string is placed in the object file.

Description

This option places a text string into the object file (.obj) being generated by the compiler. The string also gets propagated into the executable file.

For example, this option is useful if you want to place a version number or copyright information into the object and executable.

If the string contains a space or tab, the string must be enclosed by double quotation marks ("). A backslash (\) must precede any double quotation marks contained within the string.

If the command line contains multiple /bintext options, the last (rightmost) one is used.
