okay so real quick, the manual we're living in rn is the Free Pascal Compiler one, and this page is all about ppcsparc, k bye let's go ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ppcsparc — it's the Free Pascal Compiler (FPC) binary, and the name is literally derived from Portable Pascal Compiler. iconic lineage, no notes 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ppcsparc [options] [sourcefile]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so this binary? it's the back-end binary of the Free Pascal Compiler (FPC), which is a Turbo Pascal and Delphi (7.0) compatible standalone (non GCC frontend) multitarget Pascal compiler. she does it all, fr fr 👑

🚨 okay bestie listen — this binary should not be called directly. do not do it. instead the fpc program should be used instead. she's the one who picks the right back-end for compiling units for the platforms you asked for. ppcsparc is the backstage crew, not the main character here 🎀

💅 OPTIONS 💅
