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-11/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:".
