Calling the Configurer

Once you have a configuration file you can generate an application file by invoking the configurer with a command of the following form, where the extensions of the names of the configuration file and application file are specified explicitly:

3L A configuration-file application-file

The configurer can also be called with a single file parameter:

 » 3L A filename

This has the same effect as the command:

 » 3L A filename.cfg filename.app

The program myprog described in the example above could be configured with either of the following two commands:

 » 3L A myprog.cfg myprog.app

 » 3L A myprog

The configurer takes the task image file and automatically allocates memory for all the task's parts. If you wish to see where the configurer has placed things, you can make the configurer send a detailed listing to the standard output stream by means of the -l option. This output can be redirected into a file as follows:

 » 3L A myprog.cfg myprog.app -l > myprog.lis

The configurer allows more explicit control of memory allocation, but you are advised to leave memory allocation to the configurer during development.
