Syntax

    -lkey 

Purpose
Searches the specified library file, libkey.so, and then libkey.a for dynamic linking, or just libkey.a for static linking.

Notes
The actual search path can be modified with the -Ldirectory or -Z options. See -B, -brtl, and -bstatic,-bdynamic for information on specifying the types of libraries that are searched (for static or dynamic linking).

Default
The default is to search only some of the compiler run-time libraries. See the default batch configuration file for the list of default libraries corresponding to the invocation command being used and the level of the operating system.

Example
To compile myprogram.c and include the Task Library, libioc.a, enter:

xlC myprogram.c -ltask -lioc
