Intel(R) Fortran Compiler Help
==============================
Intel(R) Compiler includes compiler options that optimize for instruction
sets that are available in both Intel(R) and non-Intel microprocessors, but
may perform additional optimizations for Intel microprocessors than for
non-Intel microprocessors. In addition, certain compiler options for
Intel(R) Compiler are reserved for Intel microprocessors. For a detailed
description of these compiler options, including the instructions they
implicate, please refer to "Intel(R) Compiler User and Reference Guides >
Compiler Options."
usage: ifort [options] file1 [file2 ...] [/link linker_options]
where options represents zero or more compiler options
fileN is a Fortran source (.f .for .ftn .f90 .fpp .i .i90),
assembly (.asm), object (.obj), static library (.lib), or
other linkable file
linker_options represents zero or more linker options
Notes
-----
1. Many FL32 options are supported; a warning is printed for unsupported
options.
2. Intel Fortran compiler options may be placed in your ifort.cfg file.
