The CodeWarrior command line compilers and assemblers translate source code (for example, C and C++) into object code, storing this object in files. CodeWarrior command-line linkers then combine one or more of these object code files to produce an executable image ready to load and execute on the target platform.
Each command-line tool has options that you configure when you invoke the tool.
The CodeWarrior IDE (Integrated Development Environment) uses these same compilers and linkers, however Freescale provides versions of these tools that you can directly invoke on the command line.
