GENBUILDNAME 3 ""
C 7
NAME
genbuildname - generate the pathname for a binary file
SYNOPSIS
char *genbuildname(name)
char *name;
DESCRIPTION
Genbuildname takes the name of a file and returns a pointer to a pathname that should be used to create the file. It is intended for use of programs such as the loader to decide where to place binary output files. The intent is to allow multiple architectures to be compiled within a single source tree. The destination directory for the binary is set in the predefined make (1) variable OBJDIR.
