Running and Debugging Programs

           

The basics of running Fortran M programs are explained in §2.3. Fortran M programs are run like other programs, except that all arguments following the initial -fm  are passed to the run-time system instead of to the user program.

Various arguments control aspects of the run-time system. A complete list of the run-time system arguments, and a brief description of their meaning, can be obtained by using the -h  argument, for example: my_program -fm -h

The Fortran M compiler also generates calls to a runtime system called Nexus , which provides services used to create processes, perform interprocessor communication, and so forth. Hence, for details on how to run and debug Fortran M programs, you should consult the Nexus User's Guide.
