Node:Extension Limitations Under DOS, Next:VMS Invocation, Previous:Option Cross Key, Up:Invocation
On DOS/Windows 9X systems the file name extensions of the output files,
like .tab.c, that may be used depend on the file system in use.
The plain DOS file system has limited file name length, does not allow
the use of a set of certain illicit characters and does not allow more
than a single dot in the file name.
The DJGPP port of bison will detect at runtime if (LFN) long file
name support is available or not. LFN support will be available in a
DOS session under Windows 9X and successors. Windows NT 4.0 needs a
special LFN driver (ntlfn08b.zip) or later available at any
simtelnet mirror in the /v2misc dir) for proper LFN support in a DOS
session. If LFN support is available the DJGPP port of bison
will use the standard POSIX file name extensions of the output files.
If LFN support is not available, then the DJGPP port of bison
will use DOS specific file name extensions.
This table summarizes the used extensions:
| LFN extension (Win9X) | SFN extension (plain DOS)
| |
.tab.c | _tab.c
| |
.tab.h | _tab.h
| |
.tab.cpp | _tab.cpp
| |
.tab.hpp | _tab.hpp
| |
.output | .out
| |
.stype.h | .sth
| |
.guard.c | .guc
