gcc online help

[AmberJain]

Well, I supppose in linux we can simply get help about gcc from terminal by typing "man gcc" command.

Now I tried "man gcc" or "gcc/?" on windows, but failed to get any help from command prompt. So what'a the syntax for gcc help from cmd.exe on windows.

THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR HELP.......

There is no man on Windows. You won’t get anything like it on a Windows system. If you want to see the man pages, type it in Google.

OK, I got it on google.

Are all of command line flags of "gcc on windows" same as that of "gcc on linux" OR "gcc on unix"?

PLUS, Which link below (gcc man for unix) or (gcc man for linux) should I follow for windows help on gcc?

LINK-UNIX

LINK-LINUX

THANKS......

The commandline flags are essentially the same. And it doesn’t make a difference if you rely on the linux man page vs. the UNIX man page.

You might also want to take a look at cygwin. It gives you a sort of linux within windows. You can have man pages, all the common utility programs from binutils, and linux style command prompts (which are far stronger than cmd.exe).
