/link (Pass Options to Linker)
Passes one or more linker options to the linker.
Syntax
/link linker-options
Arguments
linker-options
The linker option or options to be passed to the linker.
Remarks
The /link option and its linker options must appear after any file names and CL options. A space is required between /link and any linker options. For more information, see MSVC linker reference.
Example
This sample command line compiles hello.cpp and links it to the existing object file there.obj. It then passes an additional /VERSION command to the linker:
cl /W4 /EHsc hello.cpp there.obj /link /VERSION:3.14

Select the Configuration Properties > Linker folder.
Modify one or more properties. Choose OK to save your changes.
