CodeWarrior build tools may be invoked from the command-line. These command-line tools operate almost identically to their counterparts in an integrated development environment (IDE). CodeWarrior command-line compilers and assemblers translate source code files into object code files. CodeWarrior command-line linkers then combine one or more object code files to produce an executable image file, ready to load and execute on the target platform. Each command-line tool has options that you can configure when you invoke the tool.
