  3.2.2 LINK Command Qualifiers
  The LINK command qualifiers can be used to modify linker
  output, as well as to invoke the debugging and traceback
  facilities. Linker output consists of an image file and an
  optional map file. Image file qualifiers, map file qualifiers,
  and debugging and traceback qualifiers are described in this
  section.

  The following section summarizes some of the most com-
  monly used LINK command qualifiers. For a complete list
  and description of LINK qualifiers, see the OpenVMS Linker
  Utility Manual
.

  /BRIEF
  Causes the linker to produce a summary of the image's
  characteristics and a list of contributing modules. This
  qualifier is used with /MAP.

  /[NO]CROSS_REFERENCE
/NOCROSS_REFERENCE (default)

  The /CROSS_REFERENCE qualifier causes the linker to
  produce cross-reference information for global symbols; the
  /NOCROSS_REFERENCE qualifier causes the linker to
  suppress cross-reference information.

  /[NO]DEBUG
/NODEBUG (default)

  The /DEBUG qualifier causes the linker to include the
  OpenVMS Debugger information in the executable im-
  age and generates a symbol table; the /NODEBUG qualifier
  causes the linker to prevent debugger control of the program.
  The default is /NODEBUG.

  /[NO]EXECUTABLE [= file-spec ]
/EXECUTABLE (default)

  The /EXECUTABLE qualifier causes the linker to produce
  an executable image; the /NOEXECUTABLE qualifier sup-
  presses production of an image file. If a file specification
  is given, the resulting image is given the name of the file
  specification.

  /FULL
  The /FULL qualifier causes the linker to produce a summary
  of the image's characteristics, a list of contributing modules,
  listings of global symbols by name and by value, and a sum-
  mary of characteristics of image sections in the linked image.
  This qualifier is used with /MAP.

  /[NO]MAP [= file-spec ]
/NOMAP (default interactive mode)
/MAP (default batch mode)

  The /MAP qualifier causes the linker to generate a map file;
  the /NOMAP qualifier suppresses the map. If a file-spec is
  given, the map file is given the name of the file-spec .

  /[NO]SHAREABLE
/NOSHAREABLE (default)

  The /SHAREABLE qualifier causes the linker to create a
  shareable image; the /NOSHAREABLE qualifier generates an
  executable image.

  /[NO]TRACEBACK
/TRACEBACK (default)

  The /TRACEBACK qualifier causes the linker to gener-
  ate symbolic traceback information when error messages
  are produced; the /NOTRACEBACK qualifier suppresses
  traceback information.
