## NAME

fsharpc - manual page for F# 3.0 Compiler (Open Source Edition)

## DESCRIPTION

Compiler for the F# language, version 3.0

## SYNOPSIS

**fsharpc** \[*options*...\] *file* \[*file*...\]

## OPTIONS

### OUTPUT FILES

- **--out**:*file*, **-o** *file*

  Name of the output file

- **--target**:exe

  Build a console executable

- **--target**:winexe

  Build a Windows executable

- **--target**:library, **-a**

  Build a library

- **--target**:module

  Build a module that can be added to another assembly

- **--delaysign**\[+\|-\]

  Delay-sign the assembly using only the public portion of the strong name key

- **--doc**:*file*

  Write the xmldoc of the assembly to the given file

- **--keyfile**:*file*

  Specify a strong name key file

- **--keycontainer**:*string*

  Specify a strong name key container

- **--platform**:*string*

  *Limit which platforms this code can run on: x86*, *Itanium*, *x64*, *anycpu32bitpreferred*, or *anycpu*.

  The default is *anycpu*.

- **--nooptimizationdata**

  Only include optimization information essential for implementing inlined constructs. Inhibits cross-module inlining but improves binary compatibility.

- **--nointerfacedata**

  Don't add a resource to the generated assembly containing F#-specific metadata

- **--sig**:*file*

  Print the inferred interface of the assembly to a file

### INPUT FILES

- **--reference**:*file*, **-r** *file*

  Reference an assembly

### RESOURCES

- **--win32res**:*file*

  Specify a Win32 resource file (.res)

- **--win32manifest**:*file*

  Specify a Win32 manifest file

- **--nowin32manifest**

  Do not include the default Win32 manifest

- **--resource**:*file*\[,*string\_name*\[,public\|private\]\]

  Embed the specified managed resource

- **--linkresource**:*file*\[,*string\_name*\[,public\|private\]\]

  Link the specified resource to this assembly

### CODE GENERATION

- **--debug**\[+\|-\], **-g**

  Emit debug information

- **--debug**:\[full\|pdbonly\]

  Specify debugging type: *full*, *pdbonly*.  *full* is the default and enables attaching a debugger to a running program.

- **--optimize**\[+\|-\], **-O**

  Enable optimizations

- **--tailcalls**\[+\|-\]

  Enable tailcalls

- **--crossoptimize**\[+\|-\]

  Enable cross-module optimizations

### ERRORS AND WARNINGS

- **--warnaserror**\[+\|-\]

  Report all warnings as errors

- **--warnaserror**\[+\|-\]:*warn*\[;*warn*\[;...\]\]

  Report specific warnings as errors

- **--warn**:*n*

  Set a warning level (0-5)

- **--nowarn**:*warn*\[;*warn*\[;...\]\]

  Disable specific warning messages

- **--warnon**:*warn*\[;*warn*\[;...\]\]

  Enable specific warnings that may be off by default

- **--consolecolors**\[+\|-\]

  Output warning and error messages in color

### LANGUAGE

- **--checked**\[+\|-\]

  Generate overflow checks

- **--define**:*string*, **-d** *string*

  Define conditional compilation symbols

- **--mlcompatibility**

  Ignore ML compatibility warnings

### MISCELLANEOUS

- **--nologo**

  Suppress compiler copyright message

- **--help**, **-?**

  Display this usage message

### ADVANCED

- **--codepage**:*n*

  Specify the codepage used to read source files

- **--utf8output**

  Output messages in UTF-8 encoding

- **--fullpaths**

  Output messages with fully qualified paths

- **--lib**:*dir*\[;*dir*\[;...\]\], **-I** *dir*\[;*dir*\[;...\]\]

  Specify a directory for the include path which is used to resolve source files and assemblies

- **--baseaddress**:*address*

  Base address for the library to be built

- **--noframework**

  Do not reference the default CLI assemblies by default

- **--standalone**

  Statically link the F# library and all referenced DLLs that depend on it into the assembly being generated

- **--staticlink**:*assembly*

  Statically link the given assembly and all referenced DLLs that depend on this assembly.  Use an assembly name e.g. *mylib*, not a DLL name.

- **--resident**

  Use a resident background compilation service to improve compiler startup times.

- **--pdb**:*file*

  Name the output debug file

- **--simpleresolution**

  Resolve assembly references using directory-based rules rather than MSBuild resolution

- **--highentropyva**\[+\|-\]

  Enable high-entropy ASLR

- **--subsystemversion**:*string*

  Specify subsystem version of this assembly
