file-spec If you enter a file specification with the /MAP qualifier, the linker creates an image map file with that file name. If you do not enter a file type after the file name, the linker assumes a file type of .MAP. If you do not enter a file specification with the /MAP qualifier, the linker creates an image map file with the file name of the first input file specified on the command line and the file type .MAP. (If there are no input files specified on the command line, the linker names the map file .MAP.) If you append the /MAP qualifier to one of the input file specifications, the linker creates an image map file with the file name of the file to which the qualifier is appended, using the .MAP file type.
