binfmtp-interpreter(1)

Usage

binfmtp-interpreter pascal-source-file-name [command-line opions ...]

binfmtp-interpreter compiles a pascal source file specified on the command-line using the gpc compiler, and executes the resulting file.

It is designed to be used as a handler for binfmt_misc handler, which is a system used in Linux for handling arbitrary files as executables.

The command-line options are passed on to the compiled binary.

There is a requirement for C source files to have the magic characters {BINFMTP: at the beginning of the file.

That line also is used to specify the additional command-line options for C compiler.

BINFMTCTMPDIR

Temporary directory used for binary and execution.

Falls back to $TMPDIR $TEMPDIR or /tmp

BINFMTC_GPC_OPTS

Additional GPC options. Use BINFMTC_DEBUG to verify the options being passed on to gpc.

The default is -O2 -Wall
