                      9: .I Cc
                     10: is the UNIX C compiler.
                     11: .I Cc
                     12: accepts several types of arguments:
                     13: .PP
                     14: Arguments whose names end with `.c' are taken to be
                     15: C source programs; they are compiled, and
                     16: each object program is left on the file
                     17: whose name is that of the source with `.o' substituted
                     18: for `.c'.
                     19: The `.o' file is normally deleted, however, if a single
                     20: C program is compiled and loaded all at one go.
                     21: .PP
                     22: In the same way,
                     23: arguments whose names end with `.s' are taken to be assembly source programs
                     24: and are assembled, producing a `.o' file.
                     25: .PP
                     26: The following options are interpreted by
                     27: .IR cc .
                     28: See

                     33: Suppress the loading phase of the compilation, and force
                     34: an object file to be produced even if only one program is compiled.

                     37: Have the compiler produce additional symbol table information

                     50: which counts the number of times each routine is called.
                     51: If loading takes place, replace the standard startup
                     52: routine by one which automatically calls
