GnuCOBOL compiler for most COBOL dialects with lots of extensions
Usage: cobc [options]… file…
Options:
-h, -help display this help and exit
-V, -version display compiler version and exit
-i, -info display compiler information (build/environment)
and exit
-v, -verbose verbose mode, display additional information;
multiple -v options increase the verbosity,
the maximum is 3 as follows:
(1) display compiler version and the commands
invoked by the compiler,
(2) pass verbose option to assembler/compiler
(3) pass verbose option to linker
-q, -brief reduced displays, commands invoked not shown
