of cw supports Sun Studio 10 and 11 and gcc 3.4.3 as shipped in
Solaris.

.SH OPTIONS
.LP
The following options are supported:
.TP 4
.B \-_compiler
Do not invoke any compiler; instead, write to standard output the
full path to the primary compiler that would be invoked. If this
option is given, it must appear immediately following the compiler
selection argument, and all other options will be disregarded.

Print the cw version, followed in turn by the path to and versions
of each compiler which would be invoked. If this option is given,
it must appear immediately following the compiler selection argument,
and all other options will be disregarded.

Normally, cw writes to standard error the actual compiler commands
invoked, each prefixed with '+'. This option suppresses these
messages.

If none of \fI-c\fP, \fI-E\fP, \fI-P\fP, or \fI-S\fP appears in the

will not be invoked. This is because the objects built with that
compiler which would be linked have been previously discarded.
