If you're on Linux or some flavor of UNIX, you might also try looking at the man page. man gcc Or take a look at the online documentation for GCC. Go to http://gcc.gnu.org/ and click on the Manual link under Documentation in the menu on the left. You might also seriously consider going to a local bookstore and getting a book about software development on Linux or something similar. Another poster on the list has even written an introductory book about using GCC. You might take a look at that: http://www.network-theory.co.uk/gcc/intro/ Thanks, Lyle -----Original Message----- From: gcc-help-owner@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gcc-help-owner@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Brian Rose Sent: Wednesday, December 08, 2004 11:49 AM To: gcc-help@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: command line help tinettim@xxxxxxxx wrote: > At the command line I can type help to get a list of topics but they scroll > of the screen so I can't see them all and I can't find their explanations > on your web site.
