.DEF Files as Linker Input

  • Article

|  Overview |  FAQ |  Details |  Linker Options

Module-definition (.DEF) files provide the linker with information about exports, attributes, and other information about the program to be linked. Use the /DEF option to specify the .DEF file name. Because LINK provides options and other features that can be used instead of module-definition statements, .DEF files are generally not necessary.
