NAME
       c99 - ANSI (1999) C compiler

SYNOPSIS
       c99 [-pedantic] [-pedantic-errors] [-D_ANSI_SOURCE] options ...

DESCRIPTION
       Calls  the C compiler (cc) with the given options , using a C language environment compatible
       with the -ansiC specification.

       This includes proper handling of trigraphs, disabling non-ANSI compiler features (such as asm
       , typeof , and the $ character in identifiers), and definition  of  the  preprocessor  symbol
       __STRICT_ANSI__ .

       The     status     of    C99    features    implemented    in    GCC    is    described    at
       http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-13/c99status.html

SEE ALSO
       cc(1) for a description of all options.

HISTORY
       Appeared in NetBSD 1.4 .

BUGS
       Since c99 is a shell wrapper script to cc , compile errors are prefixed by "cc:".

                                                                                              C99(1)
