| Overview | How Do I | Linker Options
This option tells the linker to create a mapfile.
Command Line | Project Settings | Description |

A mapfile is a text file that contains the following information about the program being linked:
The module name, which is the base name of the file
The timestamp from the program file header (not from the file system)
A list of groups in the program, with each group’s start address (as section:offset), length, group name, and class
A list of public symbols, with each address (as section:offset), symbol name, flat address, and .OBJ file where the symbol is defined
The entry point (as section:offset)
To find this option in the development environment, click Settings on the Project menu. Then click the Link tab, and click Debug in the Category box.
The /MAPINFO option specifies additional information to be included in the map file.
