ppcx64(1)

💅 ppcx64 — like, the manual page, bestie

okay so this is the manual page for ppcx64(1) from the Free Pascal Compiler crew. Sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, we're gonna get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

ppcx64 — the Free Pascal Compiler (FPC) binary, and the name is literally derived from Portable Pascal Compiler. iykyk 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ppcx64 [options] [sourcefile]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. [options]? optional. [sourcefile]? also optional. icon behavior honestly 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this binary right here is the back-end binary of the Free Pascal Compiler (FPC). and what is FPC, you ask? it's a Turbo Pascal and Delphi (7.0) compatible standalone (non GCC frontend) multitarget Pascal compiler. yes, all of that. read it again, it's giving very specific and we respect it ✨

⚠️ bestie, do NOT call this binary directly. no cap. instead, the fpc program should be used. it's the one with the main character energy — it will choose the right back-end for compiling units for the requested platforms. ppcx64 is the backstage crew, and the backstage crew is not taking walk-ins. 💀

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

okay so for a complete list of all supported command-line options, you're gonna wanna see the fpc(1) manual page. that's where the full menu lives, this page is just the lil appetizer 🍓
