Page 157 of 229 Start Back Next End ZBasic Language Reference 147 ZBasic Microcontrollers --device-parameter=<name>,<value> This option specifies the value for a target device parameter (useful only for generic target devices). See Section 5.3 for a complete list of device parameter names and the expected values. --directory[=<path>] This option specifies a directory that should be made the “current directory”. If the option is given without a specific directory, the directory is inferred from the project or arguments file being processed at the time. If no project or arguments file is being processed, from which the directory can be inferred, the option is silently ignored. Generally, a filename that has a relative path prefix will be sought relative to the current directory (but see –-include-path, below). For example, since the filename ir\test.bas is a relative filename it will be expected to be in the ir sub-directory of the current directory. In contrast, a file specified with an absolute filename like c:\projects\ir\test.bas will not. --entry=<subroutine> This option specifies an alternate entry point for the program. By default, the entry point is the subroutine Main(). --error=<file> This option explicitly specifies the name for the error output file. In the absence of this option, the error output is sent to stderr. Depending on your operating system, you may have the ability to redirect stderr to a file. --error-format[=<format-spec>] This option explicitly specifies the format that should be used for outputting error messages. If the equal sign and format specification are missing, use of the default format specification will be resumed. The error format string specifies the string that precedes the descriptive error message. The format string may contain ordinary characters and escape sequences. The supported escape sequences are described in the table below. Error Format Specification Escape Sequences Escape Description %f The file containing the error. %l The line number on which the error occurred. %% A literal percent sign (only needed to disambiguate). The format specification may be enclosed in matching quote marks or apostrophes but this is necessary only if the format specification contains spaces. The default format specification is "%f:%l:". This causes messages to have the format required by the IDE for error file navigation. --error-limit=<value> This option specifies an upper limit on the number of error messages that will be generated. When the limit is exceeded, compilation will cease. The default error limit is 100.
