NAME

binfmtf-interpreter - binfmt_misc fortran handler

SYNOPSIS

binfmtf-interpreter fortran-source-file-name [command-line opions ...]

DESCRIPTION

binfmtf-interpreter compiles a fortran source file specified on the command-line using the g77 compiler, and executes the resulting file.

It is designed to be used as a handler for binfmt_misc handler, which is a system used in Linux for handling arbitrary files as executables.

The command-line options are passed on to the compiled binary.

FILE MAGIC

There is a requirement for Fortran source files to have the magic characters c BINFMTF: at the beginning of the file.

That line also is used to specify the additional command-line options for Fortran compiler.

ENVIRONMENT

BINFMTCTMPDIR

Falls back to $TMPDIR $TEMPDIR or /tmp

BINFMTC_DEBUG

enables debug output if set.

BINFMTC_G77_OPTS

Additional G77 options. Use BINFMTC_DEBUG to verify the options being passed on to g77.
